Much better looking machine than the WHs. Not surprisingly!

Even for just the change, I want to see anything but the WH win the tender.

Anybody any ideas what they're like on board?

I've heard driver feedback has been very good

As far as I am aware; if people or bus enthusiasts want to film some of their journey with a smartphone they are allowed to do some filming on the bus once they board it & get verbal permission from the bus driver. This type of stuff is done regularly from enthusiasts who have smartphones & take journeys on regular diesel buses all over Ireland & the UK. So again in short; once they get the OK from the driver; there should be no problem with it.

Yes it is a common courtesy to ask the driver if they would mind if they take a picture of the bus or film.

It is also common courtesy for the person to try and not capture the faces of passengers, like the person who took this video, who lowers his camera when people board, etc. Or block out the faces afterwards with editing.

The point is for the enthusiast to record the experience of a new bus, not to make the divers or other passengers feel uncomfortable.

There is certainly nothing illegal about filming in a public space!

Those cyclists and car drivers don't have a hundred people's necks to look after. Also, just because someone else has floored it through a junction illegally does not mean that DB drivers should just go ahead and follow.

The reason we see this is quite clearly because DBs internal policy is impotent.

I haven't expierenced DB drivers breaking red lights and one instance doesn't mean it happens on a regular basis. I have seen them go through amber lights which then turn red but in many of these instances they are safer to keep going than stop as stopping could cause passengers to fall forward.

Also if there was to be an accident with the bus involved it would likely be a cyclist, motorist or pedestrain to come off the worse as generally it's the smaller vehcile that comes off the worse in these types of situations.

Despite CCTV coming out of their eyeballs, buses are hammering through stale reds left and right. Are we supposed to wait for casualties before drivers start facing consequences.

Saw a 16 last week blast through towards Harrington St, but this was a minute or more into the Camden St's sequence - must have been day dreaming.

Not sure what dangerous habits you're talking about. The vast majority of DB and GAI drivers are excellent drivers

Who is "attacking" you? I simply pointed out that it is not illegal, what you stated is factually incorrect, it is not illegal and not covered under any bye-laws, that is a fact.

punisher5112 wrote: »

This was live on the site so must have only been removed lately.

To be fair most of the CIE company websites have similar, and it is also worth noting that it is simply a policy regarding filming/photo shoots and all that is required for such, that does not equate to a general filming ban and most definitely does not mean it is illegal, it could only be made illegal by an Act of the Oireachtas or a bye-law.

L1011

There was never a byelaw so it wasn't like something solid was removed.

Inaccurately telling a prick thats up in your face filming you that they can't film is waving a red rag to a bull. They'll likely know that they can

Everyone goes on about safety yada yada but nobody actually seems to give a fook about the driver and are disrespectful quite often and I've had the usual rubbish if I'm reporting you or whatever and these people would be putting the phone in my face driving and while stopped.

I should be able to work and not be harassed so it's something I will be taking up with the job and union now that this has been removed.

That is not a bye-law, there are no such provisions provided for under law and there never has been.

That is not a page from www.dublinbus.ie and is a page from a testing/staging version of the DB website.

It doesn't appear on the live version of the Dublin Bus website, probably because it is not correct and has not been approved for use as it is either incorrect or no longer correct if it was before.

I assume the lads snorting coke, smoking crack and drinking cans down the back on the 40 is illegal too. Funnily enough never see any DB employees rushing to stop that particular practice. However, a quiet bus enthusiast filming a new bus on his phone, call the inspector car!
