College Services

Bus Éireann and Expressway are here to help you on your way to college.  Check out our list of services to your college below, and full timetables are at ‘view timetables’ section of our website.

Taking the bus or coach is better for the environment, better for your pocket and gives you time to catch up with friends, trends and maybe some college work too.

We offer great value student fares to students and accepted Student ID include International Student Identity Cards (ISIC) and student identification cards issued by recognised third level institutions in the Republic of Ireland.

  • Student single tickets
  • Student return tickets
  • Student 10-journey tickets

The Student Leap Card is the national student travel discount card and Leap single fares are 30% cheaper than cash single fares

You will be required to wear a face-covering on our service, unless an exemption applies.

All our coaches are put through an enhanced cleaning regime, so we ask you to help us keep the vehicles clean in transit by taking your litter, tissues etc with you when you disembark
