Go-Ahead Ireland (GAI) is Ireland’s newest bus company. We started running services under contract to the National Transport Authority on 9th September 2018, launching the first new route in Dublin for several years. We now operate 24 Outer Dublin Metropolitan Area (ODMA) routes, as well as 5 Dublin Commuter routes.
Our ODMA services are based in our Ballymount depot, and our Dublin Commuter services are based in our Naas depot. We have a fleet of almost 200 buses and a team of nearly 600 colleagues. In 2019, we carried 13.9 million passengers, which was an increase of approximately 24% compared to 2018.
As Ireland’s newest bus company, we are a progressive, agile and collaborative company who put the people and communities we serve at the heart of our company. We connect people to places in a friendly and professional manner. We are part of the Go-Ahead Group, a global transport provider of bus and rail services that places great importance on local people running its local companies.
