    I was travelling from Santry to finglas yesterday afternoon(6pm ish)and i noticed absolutely LOADS of people waiting at the various 17a bus stops all along the route,in the howtth junction direction.
    When i got to Finglas,the reason became clear why there were so many people waiting.There were THREE 17A's at the finglas terminus.THREE.
    I had to pull in to get a picture and by that time one of them pulled away,leaving two more ready to follow.
    This service is a ****ing disgrace,i've long suspected that the drivers travel in convoys for some reason but this is the proof of it.

    Been the same from 16 years ago when I used to get it from the Finglas terminus to go work in D.C.U. which was why I started cycling. Just too unreliable.

    The 17a, in contention for the roughest bus in the Citaay award.

    Anyone contact Dublin Bus for an explanation...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
