Dublin Bus currently has a fleet of 1,182 buses. Under Transport 21 Dublin Bus has been allocated since 1st January 2006, €30 million towards the cost of 100 additional and €30.04 million towards the cost of 200 replacement buses. The funding of further new buses will be considered in the light of the outcome of the cost and efficiency review of Dublin Bus which is currently underway and due for completion in September and the available funding.
