From

Bus stops at the airport, zones 11, 13 and 15

To

Lower Abbey Street, beside O'Connell Street

Luggage

Limited, and not guaranteed. Dublin Bus states it cannot guarantee you will be able to board with luggage.

Runs

All night

Journey

40 min

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.

From

Airport coach stands, zones 1 and 21

To

Custom House Quay, by Connolly Station, via George's Quay, the south quays and Heuston Station

Luggage

Two bags up to 20 kg each plus one piece of soft hand luggage, included.

Runs

03:05–00:35

Journey

50–87 min

The advertised "as little as 14 minutes" is not in its own timetable, which gives 23 minutes at the quickest to George's Quay, the first city stop. The coach loops west to Heuston before Custom House Quay: 50 minutes overnight, up to 87 on weekday mornings.

It does not run between 00:35 and 03:05. If you are landing in the small hours this is not an option, however fast it is by day.

It reaches Heuston Station directly, which no other service here does, so it is the one to take for an onward intercity train.
