    From my personal expierience they can't stop people p!ssing , smoking , taking drugs and shagging. Or even get people to buy the correct ticket.

    So i really doubt they could manage to ban phones to be honest !!

    Easy solution is get yourself an mp3 player and a decent set of noise cancelling earphones. Creative labs do a pair for €30.

    I don't think they should ban 'em though. People are rowdy enough as it is, phones don't exactly add to it.

    Anyway a GSM signal jammer would do the trick. Pity they're illegal in Ireland (and almost everywhere for that matter), but that doesn't stop the odd cinema and resturaunt from using them........

    If they are shouting down the fecking phone, just tell them to shut the f*ck up, as I seen happen on a 16/16a or 121 can't remember. :D

    impossible. what they should ban however is the skanger conversation: 'hillo..bus..bye'

    Phones on the bus don't bother me very much. Smoking on the bus drives me nuts, especially since it's not usually ciggarettes. Somtimes its not even hash. I do hate the 27.
    Anyway I wish they'd just fit smoke alarms or something or else stop the pretence that smoking isn't allowed. Not that I'd try to confront junkies on the bus, but anyway...

    I'd start with a ban on all skangers or maybe put an open trailer on the back of each bus for skangers to sit in!

    Great idea.:rolleyes:

    Then sure they'd just rob cars to get from A to B.

    Maybe a sprinkler system at the back of the bus? :D

    They should just tell all the bus drivers to, if they have people smoking on the bus, to drive to the nearest garda station and get a garda to come up and fine them.

    It would never work though, too straight forward and efficient, I know typical Irish moaner here :D:D:D

    Fit every bus with a smoke, or even better, a skanger activated engine immobiliser. This would get those skangers ejected with force from buses when normal decent passengers find themselves stuck on a bus going nowhere.
