Bus & coach travel in Ireland

Buses are the most convenient way to get around Ireland. The majority of buses in the Republic are operated by Bus Éireann, which has regular departures to most towns and cities. Buses in Northern Ireland are operated by Goldline and Ulsterbus.

Bus Éireann

Bus Éireann is the main coach operator in the Republic of Ireland. The Open Road Pass is a good value option if you’re planning on exploring Ireland by coach.

Open Road Pass

The Open Road Pass is a flexi pass that gives you unlimited travel on all scheduled Bus Éireann services including express, local, city and town buses. If you decide that you want extra travel days you can extend your pass by buying additional days once you have started travelling.
