Each car occupant can travel on the dedicated Dublin Bus shuttle

service from Quick Park to Parnell Square East every 15 minutes.

scheduled services.

Return to the park and ride site on the dedicated shuttle service or on the following scheduled Dublin Bus services; 16A, 33, 41, 41A, 41B and 41C.
