Save the 145 Bus Route - Direct Access to UCD
We are calling on the National Transport Authority (NTA) and the Department of Transport to immediately restore the 145 bus route, which serves as the only direct public transport link between Heuston Station and the UCD campus.
The removal of this bus route will severely impact the daily lives of students, staff, and the wider UCD community, especially those who rely on public transport to access the campus. We ask that the relevant authorities act swiftly to ensure that UCD remains accessible and that all members of the community, regardless of where they live or how they commute, can continue to engage fully with campus life and work.
Why is this important?
The 145 bus route is an essential transport link for the UCD community, providing direct access from Heuston Station to campus. Its removal jeopardises the ability of students, staff, and other UCD members to easily and affordably access the university. Many students rely on this route as their primary means of commuting, and without it, they face increased travel times, additional costs, and greater barriers to participating in campus life.
By joining this campaign, you are standing up for fair access to education and work, as well as for better public transport. Whether you use the bus or not, the loss of this route affects the entire UCD community and will have a knock-on impact on other users of public transport in Dublin City Centre.
