Dublin Airport recorded over onem Freenow taxi journeys in 2024, making it Europe’s busiest for taxi services. Following Lyft’s acquisition of Freenow, US visitors are prompted to download the Freenow app for seamless travel in Dublin.
Danny O’Gorman shared: “We are delighted to welcome the thousands of US fans arriving in Dublin for the big game. Our drivers are ready to help visitors get around the city safely and easily, with a touch of our well known Irish hospitality along the way. We’re also reminding American visitors that they can download the Freenow by Lyft app to make their travel throughout Dublin hassle-free.”
Stephen and Karen Clark shared: “We’re just taking in the country and of course the game, but all the sites and maybe a pub or two. It’s definitely a bucket list item for sure, and I think we’ll have a great time and hope for a win. But more importantly, just have a good time.”
