Ireland has had its entire public transport system mapped on Google Maps, meaning commuters and tourists can now easily plan trips and journeys anywhere in Ireland, from door-to-door. Google Maps Transit is now live in Ireland as a result of a partnership between Google and the National Transport Authority. The Authority has provided Google with the route network and timetable data behind their very popular Journey Planner. As a result, all bus services (including commercial operators, Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus), Irish Rail (including the Dart), Luas and even the Dursey Island Cable Car are now mapped on Google Transit, and readily available to all Google users planning a trip.
The new service was officially launched by Public and Commuter Transport Minister Alan Kelly T.D. Today.
