    With the DB strike on tomorrow and Friday, what are my options? Best I could find is getting the Express Bus to the airport and then get the Aircoach to the city centre but that'll cost a fortune not to mention that there isn't a guarantee of me getting a seat on the Aircoach bus.

    20-30 minute cycle depending on exact starting point and destination. Easy peasy.

    Easy peasy if Dublin Bikes were anywhere close to Ballymun :rolleyes:


    That and I don't have a bike.

    Realistically - taxi, lift or walk I'm afraid.

    Or walk to Drumcondra and train from there, depending on where you're going to in the city centre.

    You're pretty screwed because it was decided long ago that Dublin bus alone was sufficient for most of the northside

    Ballymun to city centre is a doddle of a walk.
    I've often seen people walking passed me while stuck in traffic at smurfit, and I had seen them while passing Albert college park!

    Takes an hour to get from where I live to where I want to go...

    Bus Eireann 109A DCU-Ward Cross and 103 Ward Cross - City.

    http://www.buseireann.ie/timetables/1473263565-109A.pdf

    http://www.buseireann.ie/timetables/1470225086-103.pdf

    A 24 Hour Red zone ticket on Leap Card would cover that both ways for €8.60.

    Probably no quicker than walking and with the 109A being hourly maybe a long wait.

    Probably takes half an hour anyway without a strike? My wife has regularly walked from beside dcu into the city centre to get to work.
