This week: Buses
It would be good if some more of the buses actually went as far as St Stephen's Green for commuters who work on the southside. After all, Busárus is five-to-seven minutes walk to the nearest Dublin Bus going across the Liffey. Which would be fine if we didn't live in a country where it rained 250 days a year. – Cait
After waiting over an hour for a bus at Cork University Hospital – there should have been three buses in that time — I flagged a taxi. The driver told me he always picks up fares at that bus stop after 8pm. Looks like the buses deserted the people. – Noel
Perhaps if bus companies, particularly Dublin Bus, could cop-on to the notion of "the customer" and treat the "customer" as a human being, instead of inconvenient freight, they may have a future. – Neasa
Of course the demand isn't there – what with timetables that only tell you when the bus leaves the terminus, a complete lack of anything resembling a shelter at bus stops – why on earth would I want to get the bus when my car is so much nicer? Add to all of this the fact that you have to either get a pricey weekly ticket or have exact change combined with the other fact that the bus lanes are all going into town, not out of it, so the trip home is always a great deal longer? And they wonder why patronage is falling? – Annie
