Could not recommend. The customer services is useless, their customer complaints are never delt with and some drivers are just pure ignorant/cold. I'm sorry I ever used them

Cheap enough but unlike UK services they have many more stops and are very uncomfortable for long journeys. Occasionally you can get a cheap deal to travel. They are a horrible experience when packed as they get very stuffy and their is a race at toilet stops. No toilets on them either unlike UK! read more >>

I never like travelling from this bus station. It is in bad need of rennovation especially the toilets(they are dire). This building was once considered modern, but now looks old and depressing. I would hate to have to use it on a regular basis read more >>

Not a huge fan of bus eireann, Drivers can be rude, Prices are good for innercity routes and direct routes to Dublin, but for roural journeys the prices are simply ridicelous.

I usually use bus eireann to travel to Donegal on the 32 bus. Great service that goes every 2 hours on average and it does the trip in about 4 hours which is ok. The building itself is easily accessed only about 5 minute walk from o'connell street. Prices have gone very high recently however. read more >>

This bus depot needs a serious make over. Its really old fashioned and out dated, its such a shame because i'm sure it ruins the experience of travelling with bus eireann for everyone, especially all of the tourists that come here. Don't leave any money in your pockets when you're walking around here! read more >>

I've used Bus Eireann for about 20 odd years - where would we be without it ? There's good deals for students and you can also get a 10% discount if you book online. Certainly a great excuse to explore Ireland!

Bus Eireann's fine, does what it says on the tin. It gets you to where you want to be, the best thing about it is its central location, it's very easy to reach by other public transport and is hard to miss. The newsagents in there is very expensive, but as for the actual bus service? It's average, nothing amazing or brilliant. read more >>

It is such a shame to be greeted with this eyesore on the way into such a wonderful cuty. I genuinely believe it is in need of a major overhaul. The service Bus Eireann provide is generally ok, all buses run on time, and never have really much faults.
This depot however really does let the company down. I'm glad to see so much transport around it as it takes away form the sheer ugliness of the exterior.
It's a noisy cramped place, overheated, and in dire need of a 'hose-down'!
Shop and mini deli counter, serve a basic function, but my pet hate is paying, yes paying for the use of the bathroom. Given the amount of foot traffic in and out of the place I would love to guess at how much actually goes through the stiles. Certainly enough for a pot of paint and a brush? read more >>

I nearly always avail of Bus Eireann in and around Dublin. However service is not always up to scratch, especially when you compare them to some of the bus companies is large cities around Europe. Quite exepensive even for short trips and service is quite unfrequent in quieter places in Dublin. read more >>

I use their buses often, mostly a night service. It's quite late when i'm at Bus Aras, usually 10-11pm so theres usually a couple of shady people around. They have a security guard now but it's such a big station that it still feels unsafe if hes up on the other side. I hate using the toilets at night as they usually have the lights turned off and it just feels very unsafe. Nothing negative has happened me yet so maybe i'm just over-paranoid!
Theres usually lots of people around so its not too bad. The same guy asks me for "spare change" every time i'm there, at first I was weary of him but hes actually harmless, I just say "no, sorry" and he walks off, hes not the threatening type at all infact I think some of the security guys are friendly with him.
The shops close quite early but if you go out the main doors and follow the luas tracks in the direction of conolly station for a couple of mins, theres a tiny shop that sells magazines, snacks, sandwiches, etc. at much better prices than the shop in the station anyways.
The actual bus drivers are usually unfriendly but I don't mind as i'm more interested in getting home safely than distracting the man driving an old bus half way across the country in the middle of the night! read more >>

used to always use this place every week. it used to be such an awful place to have to wait for a bus in. very dodgy. its improved a small bit in the last few years and is a lot cleaner then what it ever used to be. handy for getting from a to b so cant complain! buses usually leave on time anyway. they always have extra buses on hand during evening and morning times read more >>

Located just at the very top on Limerick City lies Bus Eireann. Obviously it's the cities bus station and also it's railway station. There are some amenities inside which consist of a small shop where drinks and the paper can be bought. A small juice/sandwich bar and also a bar/snack bar called platform 5. Its located in a nice spot and the shops inside are handy but nothing really separate's it from other stations all across the country read more >>

After many years of not using the bus I have used the bus approx five times this year so far. I have been very pleased on all journeys so far and it has convinced me to start using busses again. My only complaint is the cost element. It costs me more to travel by bus than by car. In addition all the bus drivers have been very friendly. read more >>

Outdated and in need of some work done to it. The "shop" is a joke with a tiny selection. As with every other bus station in the world, you don't always feel sake with the kind of people that hang around there. They have "federal" security who look intimidated working there. read more >>

I can honestly say that I hate this place. This bus office is one of the first things tourists see in when they come here, and we present them with an outdated, god-forsaken hole of a bus depot. Their security is useless. Please watch your belongings whilst here as the place is abundant with vagrants and people you would not want to cross. Avoid unless necessary. read more >>

I liked their services. They have regular buses for the major cities, and i think they are very confortable. I had travel from Dulibn to Galway and Belfast and i was alway very pleased with them. The prices are very good too.

It is what it is basically. Cheap travel, that generally tends to run on time. Great location in town, and right next to the Luas and Dart. The service is okay, but there are a lot of dodgey character in the area/building so keep your valuables safe. read more >>

Ive gotten the bus from Cork to Galway a few times. The only reason I would get the bus is because the train is too awkward. But the bus isnt much better - why the need to stop off in Limerick for 20 minutes. The bus drivers are always good though - helpful and generally pleasant. read more >>

What is it about bus and train stations that attracts absolute nutcases, and why do they wlays have a plastic bag with them?! Anyway every time I go Bus Eirann there seems to be some looney or other lurking about making people feel uncomfortable. Not bus eiranns fault I know but it just makes going there unpleasant. read more >>

The customer service people at Busarus are not interested! (Perhaps if their website was better I wouldn't have needed to call them). However the bus drivers are very friendly and any bus I have taken has departed on time and arrived on time so I can't fault them on that. read more >>

I've got the bus a good few times from Dublin to Cork and in fairness they go regularily and on time, and it's only €10 one way, only 18 return if you book it online - 10% cheaper I think. However you can get the train for €20 each way which is worth the extra bit in my opinion, the bus takes a long time!!! read more >>

I think these guys need to pull up their socks a wee bit! Whats going on here. Was trying to get information on charter services for a group coming from Spain (something I was helping my brother out on) - whats happening here? I thought I was speaking English and explaining what I needed, but it was like they were not interested in generating business. in the end we went with a smaller (more focused) independent operator. Sorry Bus Eireann - you missed out. Ha! read more >>
