Dublin Bus is introducing new social distancing measures and a reduced service.
From tomorrow, customers will be required to keep a two meter social distance when getting on and off buses and also when sitting or standing on board.
The operator says the rule will mean it can continue to ensure the health of its workers during the current crisis.
#DBSvcUpdate We have started rolling out social distancing measures on our fleet. When boarding, alighting and on board, please maintain 2 metres social distancing and when possible please alight via centre doors. #Covid19Ireland #FlattenTheCurve pic.twitter.com/tqynsA5dxN

It'll run at over 80 percent of current levels, and will be boosted by additional services, particularly in the mornings.
