Flagstop shows the buses, Luas, DART and Irish Rail trains near you on one map, with live times at every stop.

Get a countdown before your bus arrives and an alert when it's time to get off. Plan any trip door to door.

Free to use, no account needed. Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Belfast and the rest of Ireland.

Free for everyone
• Live map: vehicles moving in real time where operators publish positions, and bike-share docks with free bikes.
• Departures at any stop, with how late each is running and how it usually runs. Search by stop, place or Eircode.
• Tap any bus, tram or train to see every stop ahead and behind, with times.
• Plan door to door by bus, tram, train, foot or bike, with live times. Start a trip and Flagstop tells you when to get off.

• One stop alert at a time: a notification as your bus gets close.
• A live countdown in your notifications as your bus gets close, and a home-screen widget for one saved stop.

• News from the operators: Dublin Bus, Irish Rail, Luas and others, with photos, your routes first. Filter by company, line or area.
• How full is it? Riders tap Seats, Standing or Packed, and everyone sees the result.
• Explore: real photos of sights and towns, nearby toilets and day trips. Visiting? Tourist mode puts the sights first.
• Share my bus: someone can follow it live.
• Weather, light and dark looks, and easier-to-read text.

Help keep your bus live (optional)
The app asks you once. If you say yes, while you ride a bus, tram or train your phone helps keep that vehicle live on the map for everyone, also with the screen off, with a notification showing. It starts and stops by itself; tap Stop sharing or turn it off in More > Helping others. We never keep a history of where you've been linked to you, and we never sell location.

How we check our times
Every night we compare the times we showed with when vehicles really arrived. In our first checks, on Irish buses in October 2026, about 7 in 10 buses due within 5 minutes arrived within a minute of the time Flagstop showed.

What's covered
Ireland: Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Ireland, Bus Éireann including Expressway, Luas, DART, commuter and InterCity trains, and bike schemes such as Dublin Bikes, plus timetabled Local Link, coach and island ferry services.
Northern Ireland: Translink buses and trains, and Belfast Bikes.
Where no live positions are published, for example many coaches and ferries, Flagstop shows timetable times and marks them clearly.

Discounts and partner links
Nearby businesses can offer you a discount, always labelled "Sponsored"; they pay us when a code is used. Ticket and tour links marked "Ad" earn us a commission if you book. Paid items never change journey results or times. Hide all offers in More > Settings.
