Stillorgan - Swords, any bus options?

    Have started a daily commute from Mt. Merrion to Airside Business Park in Swords. Currently travel by motorbike and it takes about 35min on the M50 or 45min through town.
    I need to get a bit of work done on the bike and also there is an upcoming staff function where I'd like to have a few jars so have been looking at public transport.
    The Dublin bus journey planner is a disaster but it did come up with the 41x from Belfield to Airside. The thing is from the DB site, this service seems to only run from Swords to UCD in the morning and vice versa in the evening.
    Is there any half decent way of getting a bus from Stillorgan to Swords? I don't mind having to cycle to a bus stop somewhere but need the stop at the other end to be fairly near the business park.
    Thanks

    Aircoach to the Airport, take your bike as luggage and cycle to Airside, expensive but might do for a short term alternative.

    Fastest option would be either 46a or 145 to Westmoreland Street/Aston Quay and then Swords Express from Eden Quay to Airside Retail Park via the Port Tunnel and M1.

    That will require two separate tickets however.

    Alternatively using Dublin Bus, either the 46a or 145 as above to Westmoreland Street or Aston Quay and then the 33, 41b or 41c from Lower Abbey Street to the main road beside Airside Retail Park. You can also get the 41 but be aware that this bus detours via the Airport.

    With Dublin Bus if you are doing this trip every day you could look at getting a monthly/annual pass if your employer is part of the Taxsaver scheme - www.taxsaver.ie

    If you are using the bus randomly get a Travel 90 10 Journey ticket for €19. It'll allow you to do the entire Stillorgan-Airside trip as 1 journey (effectively costing €1.90) as long as you board the last bus within 90 minutes of boarding the first. The ticket is usually valid for about 18 months.
