Quality Bus Corridor

Quality Bus Corridors (QBC, Irish: Mórlána Bus) are an initiative to give dedicated road space and traffic signal priority to buses in Dublin, Ireland in order to reduce journey times and improve service consistency.

The aim of the initiative is to encourage people to change from cars to buses and thus reduce traffic congestion.

The idea for the creation of QBCs first arose in 1993 when Dublin Bus launched its "CitySwift" service on route 39 to Clonsilla along the Navan Road.

[tone] In November 2012, three QBCs (Swords, Blanchardstown and Tallaght) were designated for a potential upgrade to bus rapid transit status under the name "Swiftway".

[citation needed] On 29 May 2017, a new "BusConnects" plan was launched, with €1 billion proposed to be spent over a ten-year period.
