    Hi everyone

    I was just wondering if there is any other way to commute from city center to IBM campus in Damastown rather than public bus ?

    I heard that there is some express bus every morning from O'Connell Street to Damastown but can't find any details :(

    Do you have any info ??

    tnx

    I wonder would it be lucrative for a company to run a shuttle from Hansfield Station (when it opens) to IBM...

    Good question. I wonder why it hasn't been done so far: according to Google maps, Clonsilla station to IBM is identical in distance as Hansfield to IBM, Dunboyne to IBM is only a couple of hundred metres longer.

    What might also work is a bus running in a loop from an Irish Rail station (whichever one) serving IBM plus the other corporate parks in the area (Rosemount, Ballycoolin etc).

    Could possibly be handier to do it from Navan Road Parkway or Coolmine (as Maynooth and M3 Parkway commuter stops at both of these), both with good access and room for a bus to pull up.

    Sure Hansfield is in the middle of an unfinished developement. Cycled pass it a couple of months ago and looked like nothing was still happeneing there.
