buses, but the best option is the Air Coach (www.aircoach.ie). It picks up passengers outside Terminals 1 and 2. Tickets are on sale at small booths outside the terminals. There are several routes, so make sure you get on the right bus – ask the ticket seller or driver for advice if necessary. The 700 route to Sandyford/Leopardstown stops at several places in the city centre and at each of the hotels mentioned on the EMBS54 website that are closer to UCD. It runs every 15 minutes, except between 0025 and 0325 when it runs every 30 mins; it takes about 30 mins to get to the city centre, 45 mins to UCD. Taxis are also available and cost approximately 30 euro to the city centre.
