Bench at Bus Stop

Two Boys · 2011-06-20 12:11:58

Have been taking the 84x in the mornings, for the last few weeks due to car troubles :) And I keep thinking how nice it would be if there was a little bench at the bus stop, am I asking too much?? Was thinking of asking the Management Company to fork up for it, seeing as I can't see much evidence of where else they spend…

I wonder what their reaction will be.......

Presumably you mean Charlesland?

Councillors have requested Dublin Bus to put one up lots of times - The management company? not a hope

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

The only way you can get a bench at a bus stop is if adsel will pay for it. By a bench I mean the orange bench that you get with bus shelters. Dublin bus dont put them in Adsel install and maintain them and they only put them at stops that will see a lot of traffic to justify the expense.
