Almost. I used to take the bus from Terenure to Finglas. 30-40 minutes to town on the bus. 10 minutes walk across town. 10-20 minute wait for the bus. 20 minute bus to Finglas.

Problem here is not the 50-60 minute travel time but the 20-30 minute extra "non-integration" time.

I'd imagine that if you were taking the train, 90/luas, bus option you would be talking about two 10-15 minute "non-integration" delays.

Even the direct bus option is no good for people who can't read on buses (travelsickness) who get to do their studying on the train so they can spend the rest of their valuable time in the pub etc...
