The expressway buses have so many seats put in, which nobody is using, that someone of 6 foot can't fit into the seats. How has their not been protests on the street about this? We need to picket BusAras!!!

Probably built for the Asian market like the DART carriages they got from Japan with the massive transatlantic airline style spec seats putting your knee in the passenger opposite you's crotch area.

Yeah, I'd always try to get a seat at the back or the emergency door seat.

The original carriages might be nearly 40 years old, and at the end of their life, but the seats are vastly superior.

I would not know we were denied Bus Eireann in our town some years ago now. Another great idea by this Government. Let it out to some useless private English company instead. Crazy.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
