Connolly to Old Harcourt St Station

Wondering best way to do this.

Thanks to our wonderfully disjointed public transport system it looks like the private sector (i.e. taxi) will have to take this one?

Ye you could taxi, or you could go as far as Pearse st (if you were taking the dart) and then walk

spurious

128 bus.

48A or 44 stop outside of Pearse and go to Adelaide Road as it happens, this is at the top of Harcourt Street and the same stop as the 128.

Or you get off the Dart at Tara Street and walk the 300 metres to D'Olier Street for 14/A to the same point at Adelaide Road, the 16/A, 19/A, 83 or 122 to Camden Street and 100 metres walk or perhaps to Eden Quay for the 15 or 65 buses to Trinity College for the 74/A.

Plenty of options for a disjointed transport network

By far the easiest way by public transport is the 128 from outside Connolly Station to Adelaide Road and then a 2 minute walk.

Nothing disjointed about that at all.

From this Sunday you can also take the 14 bus from outside Connolly Station across to Adelaide Road.

With both the 14 and 128, it's actually quite a frequent, direct service.

you could also walk that in fairly short order

the 15's go from the Eden Quay stop to Camden Street (best to get off at Tesco Express/Centre) and you're just at Harcourt street, there's loads of them really frequent.

15's don't go Camden Street, they stop at same stop as 128s 14s 44s 48as above Adelaide Road.

But as pointed out the 128 is the best most frequent option from Connolly.

One bus does not an integrated system make, I'm afraid.

Well as of today it is two buses - both the 14 and 128.

What more do you want?

Personally two connected Luas lines would be a start.

But if you're happy with what we have, then good for you.

Take Luas Red line to Abbey. Get off, cross the road and walk around the corner to Marlborough. Green line to Harcourt.

Trust me, it'll be so much better than that poxy direct bus. Journey time: approximately 5 to 10 years.

Your initial question was that you were travelling from Connolly to Harcourt and felt that you would have to take a taxi.

you would be presumably getting off a train and not on a LUAS in the first place.

You then are informed that there are two direct bus routes, both of which are high frequency at the peak and which go from outside Connolly station to where you want to go and you are still complaining?

I give up!

Expressing a desire for a joined up Luas is complaining? If that's the case don't ask questions if you don't like the answer! As I said if you think public transport is nicely connected up, that's great for you.

Presume that you are getting the train to Connolly. Alight Connolly board bus. What's not integrated - apart from the ticketing?

Put this way if the Green Line extended north to the Red one you would alight Connolly, get on Red Line, get off somewhere, board Green line tram. Two changes.

Other than the more connections the better the issue that the two lines aren't connected is a greatly exaggerated issue. There's nothing to say that red line users would use the green and vice versa over other modes of transport. I would regard it as something that should be done in time but not a priority.
