Dublin Bus Launches Its First Children’s Book to Teach Young Passengers Safety and Kindness
Dublin Bus has taken an imaginative new route in its efforts to promote safe and respectful travel—by publishing its first-ever children’s book. Daithí the Dublin Bus Goes to the Zoo introduces young readers to Daithí, a cheerful double-decker who embarks on a lively adventure filled with fun, friendship, and important lessons for future passengers.
Designed to help children understand safety, cooperation, and good travel habits on public transport, the story follows Daithí and a group of excited young passengers as they make their way to Dublin Zoo. Along the journey, the children learn that teamwork and kindness make every trip smoother—and every adventure more memorable.
The book highlights how respect and positive behaviour contribute to an enjoyable travel experience for everyone. With Daithí’s upbeat personality leading the way, the group navigates challenges together, discovering that even a sprinkle of imagination can brighten their day out.
Aimed at early readers and families, Daithí the Dublin Bus: A Trip to the Zoo offers both entertainment and gentle guidance, making it a thoughtful addition to homes, classrooms, and libraries.
In a meaningful commitment to social good, Dublin Bus announced that all royalties it receives from book sales will be donated equally to selected children’s charities across Ireland, ensuring the project supports young people both on and off the page.
With its blend of education, charm, and community impact, Dublin Bus is inviting families to climb aboard and join Daithí and friends on their big day out — and to help make a difference along the way.
