PSO Passenger Numbers

Key features and purpose

Public Service Obligation (PSO) Passenger Number Dashboard

The National Transport Authority (NTA) publishes the Passenger Number Dashboard to provide a clear and accessible overview of passenger activity across Public Service Obligation (PSO) services. This report is delivered through an interactive report that presents information on passenger journeys across bus, rail, and light rail services operated under PSO contracts on a periodic basis.

Key Features

  • Interactive Dashboard – Users can visualise passenger numbers through dynamic charts and filters.
  • Multi‑Operator Coverage – Includes data from all operators contracted under the PSO programme.
  • Historical and Current Trends – Enables comparison of passenger numbers across months and years.
  • Mode‑Specific Insights – Explore activity across bus, rail, and Luas services.

 Purpose

The Passenger Number Report supports the NTA’s commitment to transparent reporting and the provision of open data. By making passenger usage data publicly available, the NTA helps ensure that service planning and investment decisions are informed by robust evidence and aligned with passenger needs.
