Dublin Bus provides a safe and secure service across the entire Dublin region on a network of more than 121 bus routes using a fleet of over 1000 buses. Your safety, security and comfort is our first priority. By working with our customers, we will ensure our service remains safe and secure. 

The main safety measures which Dublin Bus provides include the following;

CCTV
For security and safety during your journey a CCTV system is installed on all buses. They are fitted with high quality CCTV cameras which digitally record multiple views inside and outside the bus 2 to 3 times every second.

Dublin Bus Inspector Teams
Dublin Bus has teams of Inspectors assisting in ensuring the bus network functions correctly in a safe and secure manner.

  1.  Central Bus Control Inspectors are in continuous radio contact with drivers and all buses are satellite tracked.
  2. On-Bus Teams of Inspectors randomly check buses across the entire network ensuring customer compliance with Bus Bye Laws and that a valid ticket and identification card (if appropriate) is held for their journey.
  3. On-Street Inspectors are located at key locations monitoring and controlling buses.
  4. Off-bus Supervisors monitor the entire bus network by car and will attend at any incident. If necessary, the assistance of An Garda Síochána will be called.
