Dublin Bus

Anna2834

Not sure if I am positing in the right topic so please feel free to move it to the correct topic area.

Has anyone come across really, really rude school kids (roughly about the ages of 15/16 mostly girls). How have you dealt with them?

To make a long story short.... the commuter bus has been constantly full of school kids to the extent that we aren't even able to get on the bus to go to work. Worst thing is the school kids do actually have a school bus, which is empty and funny enough the school bus leaves at the same time as the commuter bus. We have made several complaints to the school in regards to this, also to Dublin Bus, NTA and our last solution is to bring this to the attention of the local newspapers.

We are basically unable to get to work. Besides the fact that the bus is full of them, they are loud, and I do mean very loud, hygiene isn't something that they seem to be bothered about and if you ask them to get up and allow an elderly person or a pregnant lady to sit down (they take up the priority seating) its like asking them to fly to the Moon and back. To top things up they pull the race card and are very threatening. We also take the earliest bus to get to work 1 hour and a half early. We have no idea why school kids need to be in school at 7.45/8.00 a.m. It wasn't the case in my days and I am not that old.

Has anyone any other suggestions on how we can deal with this? Has anyone else come across this issue before?

My suggestion would be to give yourself a slap and realise that their right to use public transport is exactly the same as yours.

Why the **** do you think you getting to work is anyone elses problem except your own?

I think you misunderstood me. I understand that everyone is entitled to use public transport. However your taxes and mine (and the school) are paying for a school bus that is empty which I would gladly take to work, however it doesn't stop for me, unfortunately. Its actually the entire community who takes this route that can't get on the bus in the morning. Dublin Bus doesn't stop anymore due to it being so full.

Loads of people have complained to the school, heck I have even seen a lot of people giving out to them on the bus, as they are screaming and shouting at each other. Its a really strange feeling getting on that bus "like you won't know what hits you any second now" type of a feeling.
