By bus
Bus Eireann (http://www.buseireann.ie) provide the State bus service in Ireland. The main Bus Terminal is located right in the heart of the city. Bus services run from all major cities and smaller towns into Waterford and is probably the easiest and least expensive way to travel to the city.
By train
Plunkett Railway Station is the main train station in Waterford. It is on the the north side of the river. You can travel anywhere in Ireland on the rail network (http://www.cie.ie). Plunkett Station is outdated, and as the large signs posted over the entire building suggest, due an upgrade. Don't hang around wondering where the services are and just start your trek across the bridge.
