The busiest bus route on Dublin Bus services<\/a> of 2025 has been revealed.<\/p>\n Customer numbers and 24-hour services are at record volumes, said Dublin Bus,<\/a> with the busiest route being the E1, which carried about 7.5 million customers in 2025. The E1 is a 24-hr route <\/a>that operates between Ballywaltrim and Northwood.<\/p>\n Stop 319 on Westmoreland Street is the busiest stop, used by 1.25 million customers in 2025. It serves some of the city\u2019s most frequent routes including the E1, E2, F1, F2 and F3.<\/p>\n Across the 12 months of 2025, Dublin<\/a> Bus carried a record-breaking 164 million customer journeys. Dublin Bus said this makes them Ireland\u2019s biggest public transport operator.<\/p>\n The busiest day of the year recorded in 2025 was Wednesday 8 October, when 568,000 people boarded Dublin Bus services across the city. On a typical weekday, Dublin Bus carries around 500,000 customers.<\/p>\n In a reflection on their 2025, Dublin Bus said that ongoing traffic congestion is one of the biggest issues the fleet faces. The company reported that the average peak time speed of its buses on weekday mornings dropped to 13.5km\/h in October 2025.<\/p>\n This places Dublin as number 10 on the list of the most congested cities in the world, according to a TomTom global report. Dublin Bus spokesperson Blake Boland said that \u201cit has been an incredible year with record customer numbers, two new phases of Bus Connects, continued electrification of the fleet and record levels of 24-hour services. Issues with congestion still hamper our ability to move about the city freely, but Dublin Bus remains committed to delivering the service that a modern, 24-hour capital city like Dublin deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n Dublin Bus now offers more than 130 routes across the city and Greater Dublin Area, from the high-frequency routes seen on the E or F spine to Express routes and Nitelinks.<\/p>\n In 2025 Dublin Bus further expanded their 24-hr routes, which now number 15. Over the course of the year more than 11 million customers were carried between 10pm and 6am.<\/p>\n Just two years on from the first electric double-decker rolling out of a depot, Dublin Bus said that just over 10% of their fleet is now fully electric. Electric buses are quieter, smoother, and result in much cleaner air for people living and working in Dublin.<\/p>\n Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click<\/strong> this link<\/strong> <\/a>to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.<\/strong><\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
