Route Map
Uniquely for a capital city's primary transit network, no full systemwide street map is available online. Dublin Bus cites high licensing fees from fellow state owned company, Ordnance Survey Ireland, who published a printed street map every two to five years – which did include bus routes. However, the latest edition, published June 2011 omits these for the first time. As the network is still undergoing an overhaul under the name Network Direct, it is understood that when all routes have been updated, a new route map of the updated network will be published.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or map:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“When I had mapped the pond ... I laid a rule on the map lengthwise, and then breadthwise, and found, to my surprise, that the line of greatest length intersected the line of greatest breadth exactly at the point of greatest depth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
