You cannot pay with a card or a phone, and the driver cannot give change for a note. It is exact coins, a Leap card, or a Travel 90 ticket bought in the terminal before you board.

Luggage is the real catch: the timetable itself says there is limited capacity for it and that Dublin Bus cannot guarantee you will be able to board with it. This is a city bus that happens to pass an airport, not an airport service.

It runs around the clock, every 30 minutes through the night, which no other cheap option here does.

40 minutes is Dublin Bus's own published running time from the airport to Lower Abbey Street. It stops everywhere on the way.
