78A

cloudymouse

Its not often my mum has to use the bus, 3 grown up children , today she came home after half way trying to bring my nephew to town as a treat for half term on the 78A because some hash head deciedes to spark up and told her to (**** off) not one person backed her up,i am declaring that bus route a no go area for hash if you see me id appriciate your help,i am in no way condoning violence but at least help kids stop smoking hash.

I had to read that a few times to understand what you were on about.

Basically, some druggie lights up a joint and randomly tells your Mam to fúck off? Did she provoke him/ask him to put it out or did he literally just start cursing and blinding at strangers?

The 78A isn't the nicest rouite by a long way - and anyone stupid enough to light a joint on a bus should be banned from them for a year or two - but I don't think half of west Dublin is going to stop using it just because you say so tbh :rolleyes: If you want to stop kids smoking hash then it's up to parents, teachers to spot them at it and give them a good talking to or a good hiding.

Be careful how you reply.....supposedly we're all 'pussy after hour twats' over there, and 'chickens' for not standing up to it!

So what are you going to do to make this happen?

The 78a is unfortunately one of those routes that I would use only when absolutely necessary.

It is slow (given the routing it takes) and tends to pretty regularly have strange odours!!!

Is that the one that goes from Town to Tallaght?

*shudder*

Liffey Valley to town via Neilstown/Rowlagh/Ballyfermot/Inchicore.

That route has always been that way and i don't expect it to ever change tbh.

If only we had a transport police...

My motto for the 78A is stay down stairs and open the windows. Not worth it to confront these scumbags especially if you're a woman. I know they shouldn't get away with it but half of them wouldn't think twice about punching a woman.

I've never got the route, but have used as bad/worse in the day. Personally I get more annoyed because of the smoke than the hash use, but it's best to stay downstairs, and saying anything to them is just more trouble than it's worth. Even going to the driver is probably going to result in a stand-off that delays the whole bus.

The 'late seventies' buses are all known for this sort of behaviour - 79A gets me home, and I will never go upstairs on it.

I never sit upstairs on that bus. It may be illegal to smoke or spark up on a bus but if there's no policing then it's just a joke. Unless of course you count that stupid recorded message 'Dublin Bus would like to remind it's customers that smoking is illegal on all buses, customers who smoke on buses are liable ...' ah ask me ar5e. You might as well smoke your brains out because that message is the sum total effort made by DB to ensure the buses are smoke free.

dfx-

The 77 is a holiday compared to the 78A tbh. I've been upstairs on a 78A fine but I'd definitely think twice about it more than any other route.

Once while heading to BCFE I seen a lad smoking H upstairs.. Tin foil and a biro and he hadent a care in the world.. Its when they start a hot box is when they get stupid. Once it was the kids bus home!!! young kids up stairs... but to be honest no one is going to go near 10 lads up top from that area..

I was on the 40 before and teh driver stoped and kicked them off.. It was deadly as they were real posh... like ya sorry like ya know..

Thats the 78A alright. I used to get that to town from Ballyfermot college... dodgy dodgy bus. There was always someone smoking upstairs on it. Full of scumbags, and 17 year olds in tracksuits with 4 kids and a pram fighting with their boyfriend on the phone

I've to get this twice a day everyday and it is always terrible. DB put their worst rickety old buses on the route (Not that I blame them), it slways stinks of piss or cigarette smoke and there are always scumbags upstairs smoking hash/scumbag kids blaring music/ scumbag women with their kids (I remember one encouraging their son who was no older than 4 to scream Fcuk off for the entire 45 minute journey)/ smelly old women.

The drivers are also always smoking on the buses at Liffey Valley.

It's awful when the bus gets to Cherry Orchard because there's a methadone clinic there and a load of junkies always get on.

The route will never change, so just stay downstairs, open the windows and have an ipod blaring.

You seem to be travelling to/from the Liffey Valley or Fonthill Road areas - why not walk to/from the Lucan QBC at the Fonthill Road - much nicer journey and far faster too!!

The Lucan QBC leaves me a 25 minute walk from my house, not ideal on a rainy day!

True but your journey would be far more pleasant and you'd get some exercise thrown in for free too!!!

Inform the driver. The driver should kick them off the bus or he/she can call for Gardai assistance if needed.

If nobody does this, then Dublin Bus & the Gardai won't be aware of the problem and can't do anything about it.

The problem is that it is endemic on virtually every 78a - if that were to happen no bus would ever operate.

All that happens then is a stand-off between driver and smokers that makes all the other passengers want to kill everyone responsible for the delay.

Ah the good auld 78a. I avoid at all costs. I'd let 10 of them pass me to get a 79 instead!

Was pretty quiet over the month of January during the heavy falls of snow.
It terminated at Cherry Orchard. I wonder what that says!!!!
