    perhaps they could start services on the Grand Canal or from Howth/Clontarf and Dun Laoghaire/Blackrock to Grand Canal Dock.

    there's a Dart line running between all those places, a boat would not be quicker.

    There is a ferry service between Howth and Dun laoghaire in the summer with a discounted dart ticket to come back.

    That Howth/Dun Laoghaire ferry is quite expensive. I think it is geared more towards tourists or day trippers who want to do a once off trip across Dublin Bay, than it is to commuters.

    The article says that it's a 22 mile (35km) ferry trip, with another bus ride on the other side. An equivalent for Dublin would be somewhere like Greystones or Balbriggan into Dublin Port.


    What's interesting about this development in San Franciso is that Google and a lot of other Silicon Valley tech companies offer private bus services from SF over distances of 50km+. These bus services are contentious as they use public bus infrastructure yet pay no fees to the city. I guess the closest thing we have to it in Dublin is PWC offering a bus service to SSG Luas station.

    There are a few other Irish examples.

    IBM have a bus that runs from the city center out to their offices.

    East Point Business Park has buses that run to Clontarf Dart station, the point Luas and sometimes into town for lunch.
