CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACE

From 2004 to 2026, Luas, operated by Transdev Dublin
Light Rail (TDLR), wat the heart of how Dublin moves. From the leafy suburbs of Cherrywood, Tallaght, and Broombridge to the bustling city centre, Luas has done more than extend transport options—it has helped shape modern Dublin.

Luas helped take cars off the road, supports greener travel, and connects new communities to each other. Since its launch, TDLR delivered four seamless network extensions.

Every new connection brought change. Transdev are proud to partner with local schools and community projects along the way.

Together, we built a more connected, vibrant Dublin.

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT, REAL IMPACT

From day one, TDLR was a leader in clean, green travel.
The Luas network is 100% electric, with zero emissions at street
level.

If every Luas journey in 2022 had been made by car, Dublin would
have seen 35,000 extra vehicles on the roads—resulting in over
1,000 tonnes of additional CO emissions every month.
