The latest draft for the overhaul of Dublin's bus routes is promising to improve the frequency of services.

The controversial €2 billion plan has been redesigned again, following a record 50,000 public submissions.

The Bus Connects plan aims to redesign and simplify Dublin's bus network.

However, many public transport users raised concerns about the initial proposal.

Transport officials have been working on a better way to serve commuters, and have today put forward a new proposal.

The new plan involved eight high frequency routes serving the city centre, and ten running between suburbs.

Eight high frequency routes would in and out of the city centre, while ten others would run between suburbs.

The National Transport Authority says it will increase bus services in Dublin by 22%.

Areas that will have direct routes to the city centre include Donaghmede, Tyrellstown, Sallynoggin and Enniskerry.

While Dunboyne, Mulhuddart, Lucan, Blessington, Greystones would get a rush hour service.

Booklets will be sent to homes over the next three weeks, and the NTA hopes to roll out the changes by 2023.

Bus passengers can see how the new routes would work for them by playing with this Route Mapper.

The public consultation will be open for feedback until December 3rd at this link.
