Taxis are also an economical option for short journeys. All legal taxis should display taxi licence plates.  Taxis are generally meter-reading fares; if a taxi does not have a meter ask the fare to your destination before setting off.  In Belfast, taxi ranks are also available; these are generally in the city centre or at some points of entry, and are London-type black cabs.

There are also good cross-border bus and rail links from the Irish Republic.

BUS  - Ulsterbus work in co-operation with Bus Eireann and will have current bus schedules and prices.

RAIL - NI Railways work in co-operation with Iarnród Éireann as part of the Enterprise service between Dublin and Belfast.
