But social distancing will mean capacity will be very low, and commuters urged to walk
Public transport services will increase from Monday in line with the Government’s plan to accelerate the reopening of the economy.
The National Transport Authority said overall capacity will remain down and it urged workers to walk or cycle to work where possible and to wear facemasks on public transport. Buses have been operating on a so-called “Saturday-plus” level of services, while Irish Rail services, including DART, have been operating at a reduced level.From Monday, a schedule in line with the pre-Covid “Monday to Friday” schedule will be in place for buses and Dart.
National Transport Authority CEO Anne Graham said: “While there is some increase in services planned for next week, social distancing requirements mean that overall capacity remains restricted to just over 20 percent of pre-Covid levels.
