College Green Bus Corridor (Irish: Mórlána Bus Fhaiche an Choláiste) is a bus corridor in College Green in Dublin, Ireland that opened on 27 July 2009.

The corridor restricts traffic through College Green in the morning and evening peak traffic periods from Monday to Friday. The scheme operates from 07:00 to 10:00 each morning and from 16:00 to 19:00 each evening. During these periods, only public transport vehicles and bicycles have access to the College Green location. It is not in operation on Saturday and Sunday.

The aim of the scheme is to significantly reduce journey times for cross-city public transport and allow increased reliability and frequency. In addition, electronic message signs were put in place on key city centre routes to assist car users during the introduction of the scheme.

To mark the opening of the corridor, Dublin Bus launched a new City Centre Fare of €0.50 between any two destinations in the city centre on any route.[1]
