That is because it involves two separate tickets, walking across the city, and missing your 2nd bus by seconds. It is very difficult to take two buses in Dublin as they do not seem to be co-ordinated at all. I know that you can have a weekly bus ticket, but only regular users will have that. And to become a regular user, you have to overcome the perception that changing buses is difficult, and at the moment that perception is there.
By the way, in my opinion best way of getting from Heuston to UCD I believe is the 92 to Stephens Green and 46A to Montrose if it is peak hour, or 90 to O'Connell St. and 10 to UCD if it is off peak.
By the way, when I was in college, there used be a "46A" every friday at about 4:30 that went from the Terminus beside the Eng block to Heuston station. Don't know if it still exists, or why it was called a 46A. At this time the 746 was still called the 46A "Airport" though, so if the Heuston station one does still exist I'd imagine that is has been re-numbered.
