The N2 Orbital Route, operated by Go-Ahead Ireland on behalf of Transport for Ireland (TFI). It was introduced as part of Phase 6a of the BusConnects Network Redesign.
The N2 is an orbital route. That means it connects areas around the city without going through the city centre.
The map below contains familiar landmarks and highlights interchange opportunities to showcase connectivity to other TFI services.
N2 Orbital Booklet – Bilingual
An Orbital is a name given to the type of route that provides connections between suburbs, without having to travel into the city centre. Some examples of Orbitals are routes N4 and N6.
To interchange with another mode of transport essentially means to switch modes of transport. Passengers now have the option to switch between bus, Luas or some DART services for free, as long as it’s within 90 minutes.
Places that could not be reached previously may now be accessible at a cheaper fare, giving public transport users more control of their commute.
