The Bus.

Karl Stein

When was the last time you got the bus?

The last time I got the bus was about a month ago. Myself and my Brother were heading into town to met up with others. The bus had wifi on it and everything.

You'd be surprised at how many people absolutely will not get on a bus.

Got a car last January and I haven't taken the bus since. I thank god for that car every day. No more hour long waits in the cold rain, no more small talk, no more sitting beside people smelling of piss, no more standing from Limerick to Moneygal and no more random bus changes.

No more 15 minute rest stops in Borris-in-Misery

They got rid of them. The rest stop is in Mountrate. I felt sorry for anyone that had to deal with them.

I wouldn't get on a bus with ordinary peasants even if you paid me. It's such a lower class form of transport.

A couple of weeks ago. I'm lucky - I live along the 84x route, so I don't need to worry about having to sit next to people who smell of piss. It's handier than driving or getting the DART to town.

I got the bus up to Dublin about 2 weeks ago. The guy in front of me was on boards on his iPad. If youre reading this mysterious bus dude, you have dandruff.

So you're upper class are you?

I really doubt that tbh.

Dublin Bus 40 tops the red line anyway!

It's the old 78A. The route name has changed but the scum remain :mad:

anyone notice how clean the air was in dublin without the buses?

we should ban buses and make the bus lanes into permanent cycle lanes

you're not that thick that doesn't know what a tracker mortgage is, OP ?


Commuted by bus for three years solid, no longer do so now and miss them like a bollock tumour !

This is true. I was on the 40 bus when a woman got jabbed with a needle from a syringe left on a seat. :eek:

Haven't been on a bus in Ireland in at-least 10 years, maybe more.
Living in rural Ireland and over a mile from a main road, the bus just isn't an option.

Would you get the tube in London?

You can't get much lower than the Underground.

I had to get a few last week as car is on blocks and I was off work (so no company vehicle) for a few days. Jesus fking Christ but they're some nuisance. I gave up after day 2 and just got taxis instead. Listening to Arabic/African/Chinese music/ driver moaning about said Arabs/Africans/Chinese was blessed peace up to getting pissed on while the bus drives by -full, next one in 17 minutes.....:mad:

That's pure unadulterated bussism that is.

Shame on you you filthy bussist.

Stereomaniac

I haven't gotten the bus, that I can think of, since about last October, when I got a car again. But I only got the bus when I was in a rush, I used to hitch most of the time if I had time.

chrissb8

I get the dublin bus about six days a week. Have no idea why they are on strike. I get the 145 route and it is pretty much a joke. Stopping to change drivers and all that. Making people change buses halfway through a journey. What is that about. Finish the goddamn route. If they want people to use public transport then make it an effective form of transport. This won't stop here I am going to the highest form of authority......JOE F*****G DUFFY!

Buses are the lowest form of public transport.

Not in years.

Got a car so that has saved us lots of time & money.

With good reason the Yanks call it the "Loser cruiser".

How about a "used to" option in the poll, OP?

I took the bus every single day for four and a half years out of the five I've been in college. I get a lift in with a classmate now, it's much better.

(I'm still in college at the moment, not all of us got summer holidays!)

I don't think I can edit it.

Maybe a kind mod will add in an 'I used to' option?

The route 40 has been serving scumbags of the highest order in Finglas South and West for many years. Trust me, I suffered it for a good while(still do suffer it, just on a more direct 140).

They got rid of the 78A and extended the 40 all the way to Liffey Valley, now it carries scum from Finglas West, Finglas South, Ballyfermot and Lucan.

Except it doesn't serve Lucan.

The last bus journey I took was with Bus Eireann from Sligo to Galway . I'v made the journey before with other bus companies who take maybe just over 2 hours on average so it pained me to have no other choice but to resort to Bus Eireann which takes about 45 mins longer on a good day.

This time however it took nearly 4 hours to get from A to B. The bus was half an hour late and delays on the road cost us another 40 mins on top of that. By the end of it I was so agitated (I had the company if crying babies, drunks and a broken a/c) I was basically squirming to get out.

For every time I heard 'Stand clear, luggage doors operating' I died a little inside.

Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us

Can't stand the bus due to the slowness but I have to occasionally use it in the city to get around. I'd hate to be using the bus everyday though.

Still, I'd get a bus or walk it before I'd get a taxi. Wouldn't put a penny in one of their pockets.

Teyla Emmagan

All the time! I will have to walk to work tomorrow! It's going to take me hours, with loads of time for puke stops.

Its a different story in the states though, where owning and running a car is dirt cheap. No nct, road tax and high fuel prices to put up with. Thats why most don't use public transport.

The bus is for peasants...

Around 199Povo.

I had a big long post typed out and then I realised how much shyte I was talking about buses. Jesus I need to get a life.

Sometimes I get the bus. Mostly I avoid it.

Finally, you're learning.

The bus is grand, will get it if it suits, although the Luas does a better job at the moment for where I'm going (which is lucky what with the strike in Dublin and all).

Czarcasm

I can't drive and my wife has no interest in driving, but public transport is actually more economical for us in the city than owning a car. I get the bus or a cab and she likes to walk everywhere.

Do people who have an aversion to public transport also own private jets too?

If there were no buses how would all the lazy people lift their €188 every week?
