UCD Students' Union Welcomes New Heuston-UCD Bus Services but Highlights Ongoing Concerns @ucddublin.bsky.social www.ucdsu.ie/news/heuston...

The 145 is the *only* direct route to UCD from Heuston Station. This campaign was initiated by students coming into there whose commute is arduous enough already without having to disembark in the middle of rush hour. It's a material disimprovement for our members.

Save the 145 Bus Route to UCD I've just signed this petition calling on the National Transport Authority to save the 145 bus route, which provides transport between Heuston Station and UCD. Will you sign too?

5/ We’re asking for your help in amplifying this message. Please take a moment to read, share, and sign our petition: my.uplift.ie/petitions/sa...

4/ Disembarking from one mode of public transport during Dublin’s rush hour and transferring to another can often be an exercise in futility. For some this change also introduces accessibility challenges, making it harder to get to campus safely and efficiently.

3/ However, the removal of the 145 route will cause a material disimprovement for anyone commuting to UCD via Heuston. This change will make commuting from areas like Kildare, Carlow, Offaly, Kilkenny, Laois, Waterford, and beyond even more difficult.

2/ Some have suggested we are opposing the rollout of the new Spines or 24/7 routes, but that’s not the case. We fully recognise their importance and long-term benefits for the city.

UCD commuters coming via Heuston "pushed under the bus" as direct route between campus and Heuston set to be abolished — UCD Students' Union Union launches petition after affected students ask for action

1/ In recent months, we’ve heard from numerous UCD students who rely on the 145 bus route from Heuston Station to Belfield. The upcoming changes under BusConnects Phase 6A will impact not only students but also staff who commute from outside Dublin.
