    It means you can purchase student weekly and monthly tickets for Dublin Bus which are cheaper than adult fares.

    Once off fares are the same price.

    It also works for Iarnrod Eireann but Bus Eireann will accept any student card.

    That's actually okay considering it would cost me nearly 40 euro a week to commute...4 buses a day :(

    And so is it 84 euro with the student travel card??

    Just wondering does anyone know if the card gives you discounts off the express buses... such as the 27X or the 32X for example.....

    or would the bus/rail monthly tickets include or exclude the express buses?

    :confused::confused::p:rolleyes:

    the express buses are included on the student monthly.

    you cant use the ticket on the special buses like the nitelink and the airlink but the Express buses are okay :D

    So you get your student travel card in the Student Centre, where abouts in the SC?

    Where can you get the student monthly ticket?

    okay firstly the student travel card.......its in the main area beside where the student union bookshop is.opposite the dell stand

    secondly as far as i know you can order the student monthlys online.also many shops sell them.they normally have a sign outside saying "Dublin Bus Tickets" i think.not sure where else ya can get them though

    I've been up there about five or six times since I started college, including last month, and they never ask for your student card.
