Travel Ireland Using Irish Public Transport 

We just returned from a two week trip to Ireland. No car... No problem. Bus from the airport all the way to downtown hotel was €2.6 each and left every ten minutes. (A nice bus). Tram to train was €1.5 . It was hard to tell first class from standard on the trains. And we took day trips via trains or bus tours from Dublin, Galway and Cork (the true capitol). Great craic all around!

For the train: be sure to ticket thru Translink and NOT Rail Ninja. Save yourself $$ and agravation

Was there earlier this month. Walking, buses and trains were our main modes of transportation. Everyone is nice. Ask if you need help. It takes a moment. We took a train from Dublin to Galway with an open return. Our hotel was walking distance from the station. We took a bus tour when we visited Galway. There are all kinds of tours and adventures. We picked up a taxi from the airport to our hotel in Dublin central. Our driver gave us a little tour of the city. He asked and we obliged. We mainly walked clocking in 8.5 miles a day. Ireland is one of the friendliest places you’ll ever visit. We made friends with everyone. Whatever forms of transportation you take, enjoy the experience. ❤

I have been to Ireland twice (1979 and 2022). I have found two different Irelands. Transportation has ALWAYS been much better than most of the United State. Irish rail travel was the best experience. I did find I couldn't find a way into Port Magee to see the Skellig experience. It also surprised me that I didn't find travel into the Gaeltacht of County Cork. Other than that I found travel to be FANTASTIC.

Excellent video, jam-packed with helpful information!!

Thank you! So helpful and you area wealth of information!!

Thank you. Fantastic information

Excellent tips - nicely done with highlighting the varied methods to get around. Very helpful!

Finally, i found a video of someone who actually knows what they are talking about when it comes to irish public transportation, as someone who uses PT almost every day i agree with everything in this video, im so sick of people who've probably rode on a bus or train once or twice like 15 years ago and still think its all the same, the most common myth i hear is the price of a train, for some reason, there is a lot of people in Ireland who think the trains are outrageously expensive, but it just isnt the case, i get the train from Limerick to cork (return) for about €11 total but when i first started taking it, my brother (who has only been on one train to Dublin in 2011) tried to convince me not to use the trains cause he thought they were like €60 lol, but i spend af fraction of what he pays to go to cork because he drives and petrol here is expensive as fuhh, especially in recent times because of the war in Ukraine

Thanks! We're coming over soon!!

hi there, thanks for the video as it's very helpful. do you have any suggestions for taking transit from Galway to Killarney as there is no direct way. I keep hearing Bus Eireann is unreliable (not sure if that applies to this route).

Is there a specific train that goes straight from Belfast to Dublin Airport? Which rail would that be, by chance, and is there a strict set of hours of operation? Thank you!

Where can you purchase tickets for buses? I'd love to spontaneously use google maps to find buses throughout rural Ireland, but would I need to purchase a ticket beforehand or can I get it on the bus? Do the buses take cash?

We’re going to Ireland next year and we bought a eurail pass for the train for unlimited rides! Is there such a pass to buy for the buses over there so we can pay one flat rate and get rides on all buses?

How much money does we spend on one ride in bus… how to pay? Do we ask driver for ticket price????

Does the buses in Dublin accepts NFC card payments from foreign cards?

Hello dear, I’m planning to visit Northern Ireland for holidays. Is there any public transport available to visit games of throne locations and is it safe ?
