A large number of companies operate public transport services in Dublin, most of which are state owned or semi-state owned.
Rail
- Iarnród Éireann, a subsidiary of state-owned Córas Iompair Éireann, operates all rail services in Dublin including the DART.
Tram
- Dublin's Luas tram system is owned by the state-owned Railway Procurement Agency and operated on its behalf by Veolia Transport Ireland (formerly known as Connex).
Bus
Historically, bus services in Dublin were operated mainly by the Dublin United Transport Company, which was incorporated into CIÉ in 1945.
Today, two subsidiary companies of state-owned Córas Iompair Éireann operate most of the bus services in and around Dublin but a large number of other private companies also provide services.
