commute update
Door to DART: ~10 mins
DART to Tara Street, walk to Aston Quay: ~35 mins, fare €1.90 (single)
Bus to James' Gate: ~10 mins, fare €0.90
I think I got extraordinarily lucky with the bus (noone wanted to get on or off for the whole length of the quays) and the inter-mode timing (DART arrived within minutes of me getting to the station, bus was waiting at the stop when I reached it and departed within minutes of me getting aboard) but it certainly looks like a viable commute. I walked from the office to the DART on the way home - 30 minutes, roughly - and just to reassure me that not all was sweetness and light, the DART was running slowly due to some problem with a level crossing, meaning the trip home ran a good deal longer (the southbound DART wasn't as fortuitously timed, either).
