what price do you put on your life for the 4/5 hours spent getting to Dub and back
Folks, from several parts of NI, it can take almost that long to get to BFS and back. Not everyone lives in Antrim/Ballymena/Belfast.
As for public transport, I know for a fact it's cheaper (and often quicker) to get from BHD to Derry (for instance), than from BFS. Hire cars/parking etc is a different matter mind.
