    Anyone know if theres a bus service that would get me from granges road area to waterford road for 8 in the morning??
    Taxis are breaking me.
    And walking would kill me
    Thanks in advance!

    It's a five to ten minute cycle.

    That never stopped me in a suit (I left my jacket at work or brought a jacket in a bag). It doesn't rain that much and on those days you could get a taxi.

    Lets break down the OPs request

    1. Bus service for 8am: there isn't one.
    2. Taxis are too expensive: No cheaper motorised alternative
    3. Walking is too far: Unless they move house, that isn't going to change.

    I don't know what the OPs state of fitness is but as they are working it is fair to assume they have some level of fitness. I offered a practical alternative. I don't know the OPs level of local knowledge, so I was able to give them a guideline time. You don't need to be particularly fit to cycle 4km. Not everybody is anything and it isn't fair to expect people to anticipate full knowledge of a posters background.
