Dublin is a compact city and best explored on foot, particularly given the traffic chaos which prevails most of the time.
Bus lanes run through much of the city centre to help the flow of buses.
However, these lanes are not plentiful, and buses often have to contend with the same traffic problems as other road-users. Taxis are a slightly more expensive option for travellers and their availability varies considerably. Most major bus routes run very regularly, but for journeys to outlying areas you are advised to consult a Dublin Bus timetable. Timetables are available in tourist offices, or the Dublin Bus offices at 59 Upper O'Connell Street, Dublin 1. The DART is Ireland's only light rail system and, unfortunately, it has only one line.
