Spines are very frequent routes made up of individual bus services that are timetabled to work together over their common sections. Some examples of Spines already rolled out include the C1, C2, C3, C4, G1, G2, H1, H2 and H3.
Other city bound services operate into Dublin City centre. These services are not part of any Spine and operate to their own timetable.
Local routes are services which provide important connections within local areas, linking to local retail centres and to onward transport connections. In Phase 6a, local routes are L1, L2, L3, L12, L13, L14 L15 L26 and L27.
