Bus Connects is a new bus network in Dublin which will improve the existing Transport for Ireland (TFI) network by providing enhanced bus services with high frequency spines linking local, orbital and radial routes. The TFI H Spine and C Spine both serve Dublin City Centre, including Abbey St, Tara St. and Aston Quay. 

If you are arriving in Dublin City by train to Connolly or Heuston Stations, you can take the Red Line Luas to the nearest stop at Jervis Street or pick up a Dublin Bike.

The Green Line Luas stops close by at Upper O’Connell Street and at Dominick Street and the the Red Line has stops at Jervis Street or the Four Courts. The Red Line also connects with Connolly Station for those using the DART to travel into the city.

TU Dublin promotes cycling as a viable travel option for students and staff, and 1 in 10 TU Dublin students cycle to college. It's a great way to keep fit and save money while in college. Use the Transport for Ireland Cycle Planner app to identify the shortest, safest route to campus.

If you have your own bike, there is lots of bike parking in the building, while Dublinbike operates stands close to the campus. You can hire a dublinbike by purchasing either a 1-day ticket, 3-day ticket or taking out an annual subscription. Full details on all dublinbike ticket options are available here. 

Permit parking onsite is for staff only, find out more here.

Students and visitors may park in the nearby Parkrite Car Park on Parnell Street. The current rate is €3.90 per hour up to a max of €12.50 per day.

TU Dublin encourages students, staff and guests to travel to TU Dublin by sustainable travel; but for those who cannot choose a sustainable travel mode and are dependent on travel by car, why not consider carpooling? Carpooling has many benefits including lowering traffic congestion and air pollution, reducing travel costs, and reducing car dependency.
