| Ticket office and public information service at Bus Éireann's Galway Bus Station, May 2025 |
Bus Éireann have
announced
that from 8 April 20205, it is not possible to book seats or buy
tickets on-line for their public local and commuter bus services.
The only exception is for Expressway services, for which tickets can still be
booked and purchased online, using the
Expressway website.
For all other Bus Éireann services, the only way to buy a ticket is:
-
With a Leap Card: Single tickets and some 24 hour and
7-Day / 1-week tickets can be bought from a bus driver, using a
Leap-card
-
With the Transport For Ireland TFI Go App: Single, 2 Journey and 10
Journey tickets, and 24-hour and 7-Day / 1-week tickets can be purchased
using the Transport for Ireland TFI Go smart-phone app.
- From the driver on a board bus using with cash
-
From a ticket vending machines at main bus stations only, using cash or an
ATM / debit card.
This means that
the only way to "buy" a seat in advance on Bus Éireann non-expressway
coaches
is to buy a ticket from a ticket vending machine at a main bus station - and
tickets like this do not guarantee that a seat will be available.
There is no way to book seats for most Bus Éireann services. The
only exception is wheelchair accessible Regional PSO services, which must be
booked by phoning LoCall: 0818 294 015 (or +353 1 575 6110 from outside
of the Republic of Ireland) at least 24 hours in advance.
Ticket office services are no longer available.
