whats the best way (via public transport) from Rathmines to DCU, and how long would it take? would I have to take 2 buses or walk to city centre from Rathmines??

thanks

83 bus from Rathmines to Ballymun Road is probably best

Nalz

Thank you. thats the back entrance to DCU, at the ESSO garage correct?

You're much better off cycling to Westmoreland Street, then you can get any bus - 11, 13, 19a, 116 - and you miss the traffic, assuming you're travelling at office hours. Otherwise get a bus to Westmoreland Street (Fleet Street, last stop on any 15) and change there. Enjoy!

I think the 83 will drop you at the corner of Ballymun road (white, not yellow on the map) and Finglas road and it's a 10-12 minute walk to DCU from there. You get out beside the Met Eireann (pyramid) building. Mappy

whats the best site for a map regarding the different bus routes in dublin, like an overall map of the different routes going out of the city centre?

needs to be better than this, and go a little bit more south/north

No such map exists online.

The Dublin City street guide is useful. http://www.osi.ie/mapping/maps/street.asp

The atlas covers a smaller area http://www.osi.ie/mapping/maps/pocket.asp

The 83 will drop you about a 15 minute walk away from the the ballymun road entrance.

If you wanted to get 2 busses, you could get off the 83 in Phibsboro and change to a 19.

Don't get the 19, it drops you the same place as the 83. Change to the 19A if you want.

I was working on a map of some of the routes in my area but it's not very many and not complete. There's a definite northside leaning and it only works in Firefox for the moment. It would be great if google maps was searchable in Ireland

Depending on where in Rathmines, you could go to Ranelagh and get an 11/a/b

The 16 goes to DCU from the Harolds X side of Lainster Road.
