Taxis in Dublin:
There are three main taxi ranks in Dublin city centre, O'Connell
Street, Dame Street (opposite Trinity College) and St. Stephens
Green. It is normal practice to queue for a taxi but some
will pick up along the street, outside peak times. The normal
fare is (avg) £1 per mile, but the driver will usually
give you an estimate before you travel if you ask. In the
suburbs there are plenty of local taxi ranks, but again, there
never seems to be enough to go around! Plan in advance!
Dublin Bus:
The Dublin Bus network is extremely busy at all times, especially
at rush hour morning and evening, (7-8am/ 5-6pm) make sure
you allow extra time if you are travelling at these hours.
Fares vary from 65p to £1.30 depending on your journey.
Travel cards for multiple journeys are available on a daily/weekly/monthly
basis and you can also purchase combined rail & bus tickets.

Connolly, Tara Street and Pearse street station. It is mainly
