But once you know how it works it is completely fine. There are 4 categories:
- Train / Dart (http://www.irishrail.ie/)
- Luas (http://www.luas.ie/)
- Buses (https://www.dublinbus.ie/)
- Taxi (that's not public transport but this is very useful in Dublin)
It is very important hen you accept a job to make sure that your daily commute will be doable. I would always advise candidates to find a job first and then look for an accommodation.
The Dart is a train that goes along the coast of Dublin. People do complain a lot about the fact that the Dart/trains can be a bit unreliable. When you look at it it looks a little old as well but that's a good option for lots of people.
The Luas is a Tramway and I love it. I have been taking it for the last 4 years and it is very reliable and comfortable. There are 2 lines (Green and Red) that unfortunately are not connected yet but it is going to happen soon. The Green Line is the South Side line and the Red Line is the North Side line.
There are lots of Bus lines in Dublin. I do not use it very often but every time I used it I found it quite reliable. The problem is that when it is raining in Dublin the traffic can be very heavy and that causes problems for the buses...
Taxis are a great option when you are in a rush or not sure where you are going. You will find that Taxis in Dublin are affordable and there are so many of them that you just need to put your hand up or you can even use this app: https://hailocab.com/ireland
In a nutshell, Public Transports in Dublin (except for the Luas) are not great but they have improved a lot over the last few years and it is getting better every year :)
