Getting Around Dublin

Dublin has buses, trams and a rail network, and taxis suit occasional journeys. Transport matters most if you live outside the city centre, where you will travel further each day.

  • Use public transport rather than taxis for daily travel
  • Check whether student or Young Adult fares apply to you
  • Choose a home near your university or workplace to cut travel time and cost

My Advice

Work out your daily route before signing a lease. A slightly cheaper home far from campus can cost you more once you add a monthly pass and travel time, so compare rent and transport together.
