The 4, 7, 7A, 8 & 45 all pass the US Embassy.

If your girlfriend exits Heuston where the LUAS stops are, she can get the 90 or 91 bus to O’Connell Bridge (just before it) & there is a bus-stop in on O’Connell Bridge (she would have to cross over to the far side of O’Connell St & then onto O’Connell Bridge) where most of these buses stop (I don’t think the 45 does).

If she got a 92 bus she should stay on until she gets to Trinity College – there is a stop just after the main Trinity Gates – all she has to do is get off & wait at the same stop where all the above buses stop also.

The bus driver will tell her where to get off if she asks him to.

Alternatively she could get the LUAS to Abbey St & walk down to O’Connell Bridge.

She can't miss the Embassy :eek:

she could also get on a 25x, 66x or 67x outside Heuston which all go to Belfield

she can get off at waterloo road area (searosns on baggot street for example) and walk 10 mins or so to embassy

if she is travelling from leixlip, maynooth or celbridge or somewhere like that she could get this X bus from there altogether

another option is to get a Dart to lansdowne road/sydney parade and walk to embassey (10 mins or so)

She could get the 92 from heuston station and stay on it 'til the terminus at Wilton Terrace, she'd have a 10 minute walk down Pembroke Road to the US embassy but she wouldn't have to change buses etc.

Or what about getting the Luas to Middle Abbey Street to speed things up, then walk across to Trinity for the bus to Ballsbridge?

The LUAS journey to Middle Abbey Street takes longer at that time in the morning than a 90/91 bus to Bachelors Walk. It would take her 45 seconds to walk from Bachelors Walk to the bus-stop on O’Connell Bridge. From there she can simply step onto a bus & get off across the road from the US Embassy.

Also, it takes longer to walk from Middle Abbey Street to Trinity College than it does to walk from Middle Abbey Street to O’Connell Bridge, in fact if she were to do that she would be walking right past her bus-stop on O’Connell Bridge, so she wouldn’t be speeding things up by doing that either.
