    Hi there, I've just got a new job (hurray!) but now I need to figure out what would be the quickest/cheapest way to get there. I have a car but there's no parking at my workplace, so I have 4 options:

    - Drive to Bray and take Dart in from there
    - Drive to Greystones and take the Dart from there

    - Drive to Dundrum or Cherrywood and take the Luas from there

    - Drive to Newtownmountkennedy and take the bus in from there

    I will prob start work at 8 and finish at 5. Also I need to take cost of parking into consideration.

    Anybody have any advice or in the same situation?
    Would really appreciate the help!

    St Kevins Bus operate direct from Roundwood to St Stephen's Green every day at 0730 returning at 6pm. That would be easier than any of the other options!

    There is also the 145 bus from Kilmacanogue.

    Newtown isnt that far from Roundwood, So I'd certainly consider getting the 133 from Newtown. So long as your car is safe from the locals :D.
    The bus will drop you at dawson street and collect from Kildare street.
    The service is a lot more frequent now than it used to be.

    2nd vote would be to get the Luas, from the Stillorgan stop as there is ample parking there. All the better when the extension opens to Cherrywood

    Bray is so congested in the morning I think its too hard to get all the way to the train station and then get onto a dart & then however long that takes to get to the city.

    there's a large, free park and ride in Greystones from whence you can get the Dart or the 84X (latter drops off on Stephens Green) - this is probably the cheapest option as I'd imagine Dublin Bus fares are cheaper than Bus Eireann. Problem with the Glendalough bus service would be if you missed it, you're hosed...

    Drive to Kilmacud and get the luas in. You can park for free on the road

    .
    for how much longer though - they've recently marked out the parking spaces on that road, suggests they're planning to bring in pay parking...

    Drive to Shankill and get the Dart and free parking as well.

    Thanks everyone! I've looked into the options that you listed (some of them I didn't even know about...) and I think I'll go for the 133 bus eireann from Newtown to Stephen's green. You were right it runs pretty regularly (so flexibility in terms of coming and going) parking is free and easy and price isn't bad either.

    Thanks!
