Best way to get to work

Xamineh

Hi!

I just moved to Dublin (don't know the city, trains, buses, etc) and I am doing some interviews in companies which are located in EastPoint.

What is the best way to get there (In case I get a job)? I am living in Mountjoy Square.

I am sorry to ask a question like this, but the info I found about that place I couldn't understand because I don't know the places and names.

Ah... Another thing: What you guys think about Mountjoy Square? I heard some nasty stuff about here!

Thanks!

From Mountjoy Square, I would walk down to Connolly Station and get the DART (http://www.irishrail.ie/DART) to Clontarf Road station. From there you can get a shuttle bus into Easpoint Business Park.

You could also walk to it. Google maps says it's 3.9 km and would take you 47 mins.

Will take you 10 mins on a bike or about 30 mins walk. Would be easiest option instead of trekking to and from trains or buses

Is it dangerous to go walking everyday? Counting I could have some night shifts (3pm - 11pm).

No Dublin is a fairly safe place justs have your wits about you.

John is a safe city, as long as you are not an idiot.

walk with a purpose and your head up, you wont have a problem

If you have a smart phone, the journey planner app is incredible.

Not the best area to be walking around at night, I lived nearby for about 2 years.

Mountjoy Sq to Eastpoint is an easy ride on the push bike.

If you don't have a bike try Little Sport in Fairview, they have a range of second hand bikes.

If your new employer does the bike to work scheme and you fancy a more expensive bike you can buy in almost any shop

+1, just get a bike, that would be cheapest & fastest option

I work until 1a.m. most nights and live just off Mountjoy Square, I'm a tiny unimposing girl and I've never had any problems in 2 years. You pass some interesting people but they keep to themselves. Just don't be texting or anything like that while walking.

Thank you guys for helping me!
I'll go walking initially and after some weeks I will get a bike (second hand).
