All buses have between 1 and 4 luggage racks. However the real problems are people with large backpacks not realising how big the back pack is when it is on them anf they hit other people or block the aisle. They are also top heavy and likely to fall if the is sudden braking or acceleration.

The bell-ringing thing always amuses me.

Person number one gets up as bus leaves last stop, rings bell and stands up by driver.
Illuminated signs show 'Bus stopping' (upstairs and downstairs).
Numerous goons proceed to ring the bell as they join in line behind person number one and wait to get off.

What is that about, really?

Do they think that possibly the driver didn't hear the first bell, the lit up signs are unrelated and they best give the bell another good old ding just to be on the safe side?

Yes, actually. I've been on buses where I've rung the bell upstairs, come down, bus isn't stopping, shout at driver. Get given out to driver for not rining the bell, or on one occasiom, "you have to ring it hard or I can't hear it. Give it a go there. <faint ringing sound> See?". How the hell am I supposed to know when I'm rining the bell upstairs?
Of course you get on the next bus and ring it twice, and the driver gives out to you.

Dislike when people are doing their full face of make up in the train and you squeezed into a four seater beside them.

Or was sitting on one of the older commuter trains where there's all 4 seater couch yokes and there's one seat with extra leg room as the opposite couch is only half as there's a fire extinguisher there - so sitting facing fire extinguisher and someone dumps their big bag on my feet!!

People who push and shove to get on a train, make a big deal about getting a seat and then get off 5 mins later e.g. connolly - tara/pearse.

Or people spreading the legs thus taking up a two seater on dublin bus.

Skangers having domestics on the 25a home from town are a pain in the arse.

Also the pure volume of smelly construction workers on early morning buses (I usually get my bus to work at 6.35am)

Slightly unrelated but manky buses- falling apart etc. gammy.

Was on the Park and Ride in Cork today, bus pulls up at the stop to take us back to the carpark. I was expecting the usual hemispherical scrum as everyone tried to get on what would be quite a full bus.

Instead, everyone queued in a neat queue, not blocking the pavement. Not one attempted a queue jump. People sat down on top and bottom bus decks, put luggage neatly and two people went in two seats efficiently. Prams were all folded up neatly and put in the holder near the front, standing people went to the back of the bus to stand.

I was flabbergasted. It all worked as it should. Couldnt believe it. Everyone was so well behaved and good without the driver having to say a word. Then on the way out of the bus, everyone let the bottom deck empty before the top. Absolutly fabulous behavior from everyone.
