The number of bus journeys in Dublin for week 17 (the week beginning 24 April 2023) was 31% higher compared with the number of journeys in the same week in 2019.

The number of bus journeys outside Dublin in week 17 of 2023 exceeded 2019 figures by 47%.

Luas journeys in April 2023 also rose above pre-COVID-19 levels, with an increase of 14% for week 17 in comparison with the same week in April 2019 (See Figure 3.2).
