Many thanks! Just wondering how much it would be say, for a weekly train or bus ticket from Dublin to Newbridge....

Return to Dublin on train is around 20euro return daily so around 100euro weekly at a guess bus a lil cheaper not sure of exact fare. Weekly, Monthly rates available too but there is the option of a Taxsaver which reduces fare costs more info at http://www.taxsaver.ie/ .


Dublin Coach is 10euro return to Luas and luas about 4.50 return.

Also the option of Leap Card (Similar to Londons Oyster Card ) applies to Bus and rail/tram services excluding Dublin Coach.

Depends on which part of city you are commuting too for best transport option.

Heuston is the main station in Dublin for trips to the south and west and serves Newbridge. There are 26 trains to Newbridge and 29 from Newbridge on weekdays. Heuston is 2.3km west of O'Connell Bridge (the city centre) and is well served by buses and trams.

You would need another ticket for the local Dublin trip(s).

Newbridge is a commuter town with a population of about 20,000. The next towns are Naas (20,000) and Kildare (10,000). So, while there is a certain level of sophistication, it isn't exactly cosmopolitan. Commuting every day to Newbridge from Dublin needs to be balanced with how you expect to spend the rest of your time. If you plan on clubbing and partying in Dublin, Newbridge is a bit expensive by taxi (perhaps €60 if the driver agrees to the trip)! There is a limited late night bus on Friday & Saturday night: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1355236436-126N.pdf

Where you decide to live / how you commute, will in part be decided by where you work. If you work near the train station or the main street in Newbridge, then bus or train can make sense. However, away from there and if you decide to live in Dublin you might have to choose bus or car.

The timetable here: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1324572943-126.pdf does not list all stops, but if you propose to use this bus, it might make sense to live on the Luas (tram) Red Line or along the Naas Road area of Dublin

Of course, living across the road from work may be easy, but be careful of being too close.
