Taxi fares are estimates based on Ireland's regulated tariffs (Standard Rate, Mon–Sat 8am–8pm). Bus fares are Leap Card adult fares. Tram and DART times are approximate. The DART has no direct service between Heuston and Temple Bar — bus or tram is the better option on that corridor. Dublin Express route 700 (private operator, ~€8–€10) also serves the airport-to-city-centre corridor. Use the CaminoCabs app for live, real-time comparisons on any route.
