    The 11 or 13 from O'Connell St. They leave you at the Ballymun entrance to DCU and is thus a shorter walk onto campus than where the 16/41s leave you at the Collins Ave Junction :P

    Bus routes 4, 9, 13, and 11 all head towards Ballymun road. So once you get there, you can just cross the road to get to the entrance of the campus.

    Does anyone else find the 4 and 9 to be slightly quicker than the 11 and 13 or am I just delusional?

    The 3 also drops you about half way down Collins Avenue. Which I only know since the terminus is outside my house :P

    In busy times seems to be a lot more traffic in Drumcondra...

    Depends on the time of day.. and the traffic.

    My friend and I raced last week - I took a 4, he took a 13.
    We got to campus at the same time. Buses pulled up one after another.

    This was at lunch time - at rush hour, Drumcondra can get really backed up and delay buses - so it might take longer.
