Buses not on schedule. Cleanliness terrible. Inside smells like an outhouse due to lack of ventilation to toilet.

St Kevins Bus

St Kevins Bus

St Kevins Bus is the easiest way to get to Glendalough from Dublin city. It beats taking any other…read moretransport because it goes through the scenic countryside and drops you off in front of the attraction's tourist centre. Unlike the public bus that takes ages and drops you off miles from your destination, this bus service allows you to get there without the stress. St Kevins Bus departs from Dawson Street at 11.30 am in the summer months. It takes an hour and a half to get to Glendalough because it makes a stop at Roundhouse in Wicklow to pick up more passengers. A return journey costs 20 Euro and pick-up is at 4.30 or 5.30 pm. I highly recommend this mode of travel. The buses are clean and air-conditioned. There's plenty of available seats and the journey is quiet and relaxing.

This is such a good service and one I've been meaning to take advantage of for years…read more The bus leaves Dawson street at 11:30, which was a good time for us, gave us enough time to have a little lie in, make a decent breakie to set us up for the day and then make our pack lunch. We arrived roughly before 13:00, bought a walking map from the visitors centre and headed off on our 9KM walked around the lakes and the Glenealo Valley. If the distances on the map are correct and I would say that they are, from the drop off point of the bus, we did 12KM in all and boy do our legs feel it today. Anyway I digress... so the bus then departs Glendalough at 17:30 to go back to Dublin, which gives you 4.5 hours to see the place. Which is more than enough to tootle around the monastery, the nearby lakes and waterfall. It's just enough time to do the Spinc and Glenealo Valley (White Route) at good pace. I was taken aback by the price of the bus ticket though, 20EUR return from Dawson street. I think this is steep, even for Dublin. But I guess if you are the only direct bus service from Dublin to Glendalough, you can get away with it. I would probably use this service more often if it was cheaper. So I dropped a star for that. My partner made the point that if you've got four/five people altogether who want to go to Glendalough, it would be just as easy and more flexible to hire a car for one day. I am inclined to agree with him. * please check prices and timetables on their website in case any of what I've mentioned has changed!

Dublin Bus 17 - 17 Bus Route Death Notice

RIP to this beautiful mess of a bus route. The 17 has been replaced by the (hopefully) more…read morereliable S6, but only time will tell whether it was worth it. Can the sweet memories of the 17 really be overwritten by the swanky S6? TUNE IN SOON. The 17 was a funny bus - it could sometimes be single decker, sometimes double decker, and almost always showed up late or just fully went missing! It was a great bit of fun, standing in the cold, shivering in the sea breeze at Blackrock DART station, waiting to see if the bus would show . . . Even the ancient art of lighting a cigarette couldn't guarantee the arrival of this silver slug (that's the opposite of silver bullet). Anyway, this bus took you places. Usually, uh, places you didn't really need to go, at a pace that even a yummy mummy could out-do, but we loved it, cherished it, and will honour its memory by standing wistfully for hours at its previous stops, like the good old days!

The easiest way to navigate through Dublin is by using their public transportation system. Take it…read morefrom me, I use GPS to find the bathroom. Just kidding, but I use it a lot. When I say easy, I mean easy. If you do find yourself needing a bit of assistance the drivers are helpful. Comfy cushioned seats and charging stations for your electronic devices. I sat u top to take in the views. There are also officers that randomly board to make sure every rider has a ticket. I can't wait to go back.

Ever had high tea in a bus, whilst driving around a city? Neither had we, until this trip!…read more We've made a habit of high tea when traveling and this was easily the most unique experience we've had. It was the perfect amount of fancy and a little hillbilly feeling - a unique delightful combination! The bus is from the 60s and is totally decked out to look like a tea room. It's something peppa pig would ride on of and when she visits the Isle! The teas, coffee and juices were quite nice. We enjoyed some "Nosecco" (Non alcoholic prosecco) as part of ours and were quite happy with the purchase. There were half a dozen tea choices as well as Cadbury hot chocolate, which we all liked. Everything had a screw on lid in a cup we got to keep so there was minimal spillage and maximum memories! The selection of finger sammys, tea cakes and accouterments was quite nice. The passion fruit and mango mousse was the biggest crowd pleaser from the desserts, and the scones were as good as advertised- someone's mom taught them well....or the Irish equivalent of bisquick is solid! The tour took us around the city and while we don't remember a ton, we got an idea of some of the main spots to see, and learned that no one know why the doors around town are painted fun colors - perhaps it's just because they're fun! This was a great, unique experience and it is well worth doing by yourself, with friends or with a big group!

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen was given this lovely experience for her birthed day. We had…read moresuch a good time! We enjoyed a great pot of tea along with several sandwiches, scones, and pastries/cakes. The wonderful hostess, Aleks, made the trip memorable- she is quite a character. We took my Dad and he found it to be "splendid!" Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and enjoy an afternoon tea in a unique way. Worth it! Book online for reservations! The end.

The security staff ACTIVELY look for tourists who are unaware that the trams that run on rails in…read morethe streets require riders to tap their Leap card on a card reader at the tram stop before boarding the tram vs on the tram itself (unlike the busses and trains) and to tap again when they get off. Failure to do this may earn you a €45 fine or even €100. My wife and I asked two black clothed tram security workers if we were at the correct location for the destination we wanted. They said yes and asked us if we had Leap cards. We did and we showed them. Once on board the tram and underway, they scanned our cards and said we owed a €45 fine for not tapping in before we boarded. There's no lienency or grace. It seems the Luas system is designed to ensnare the unsuspecting and ignorant tourists to make up for the real scofflaws that don't pay for rides. Ireland and it's people were awesome except for the those that conspired to create and operate the Luas Leap card system and it's zero tolerance policy around tapping in and tapping out. The tram riding process isn't well documented in public. It might be online but I didn't procure my card so I can't comment on that. My advice, walk. It's better for all aspects of your health vs letting a little Luas infect you.

I walk from Trinity college to Stephens green to be told that I have to wait on the wrong platform for 8minutes and then, when the tram arrives I'm told (me and 300 others) to change the platform.
