The bus is normally full of skangers... but could be worse... in a taxi they'ld be driving.

No,im not poor

I like getting the bus
I get it to and from work every day, I am not near a luas or train line

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's not late at night with scary drunk people

Thought this was the punch line to a joke.

Mingey · 22-01-2009 11:03PM

I wish more people would so it would leave the roads traffic free for me.

How ironic, the Luas isn't practical for 95% of the population.

Aye! I wont have a bad word said about my beloved 27.

Trinity · 22-01-2009 11:07PM

Yes even though i have a car i drive in these days to work. Handier. Its been a long time since i got the bus but its grand.

Can get 19/11/13/13a etc but usually wait for a No 4.

New route afaik and newer buses. I havent come across any rude drivers either and they are so much more regular than when i used to get the bus.

SUppose that will all change when they take some of the buses off though

22-01-2009 11:15PM

I use them all the time:

3/11/13/13A/16/16A/41/746/78A/79/79A being the most common.

Only ever came across one snotty driver, one of the 78A ones.

Ross_Mahon · 22-01-2009 11:16PM

I only use buses to get into the city center for shopping or nights out

It's inscribed as the publicity capaign for Dublin Bus on the back and side of Double Deckers...

I certainly do use it considerably and I have the Luas a 10 minute walk away. The Luas is colder, more dangerous, slower and a glorified sardine tin. I have no need to drive so I let my Provisional Licence run out without a single lesson to drive.

It's frequent... Not much else going for it!

Who'm I kidding, I wouldn't change it for the world!

Ruu_Old · 22-01-2009 11:19PM

It is award winning*, on time*, friendly drivers* and gets me to and work from every day*.

* it is not Dublin Bus or Bus Eireann

Kensington · 22-01-2009 11:28PM

I get it, every day

. Why do they always run single deckers at peak times on the 150? Why I ask you?

And I wonder how much they paid someone to come up with that absolutely genious advertising slogan...

ladyella · 22-01-2009 11:39PM

I'd only need to get the bus the odd time now - I dont mind it all though... apart from when its raining and the windows are all closed and steamy and it gets smelly and hot.... then comes the dirty looks when you try to open one to get a breath of fresh(er) air grrrrrrrrrrrr:mad:

Krieg · 22-01-2009 11:41PM

I get it to/from work

I don't mind it that much, even though I/anyone could easily rant about bus eireann 'til the cows come home

phenomenon · 22-01-2009 11:50PM

Be careful about sitting at the back seats on the top deck. I've heard stories of skangers leaving used heroin needles behind them, sticking up from under the cushion. Catching AIDs isn't fun.

HalloweenJack · 22-01-2009 11:54PM

Get the 145 twice a day when I'm in college.

Very nice on the way in. Double deckers, usually empty when it gets my way and they're usually the new ones so they're really comfy.

It's a pain in the arse to get home. It's full of tards who get off before Foxrock church and could have got the 46A/46C/10. :mad:

Gator · 22-01-2009 11:54PM

Full of knackers...public transport...tut tut

Alessandra · 22-01-2009 11:57PM

Yes get buses to different towns(no train service) and not impressed with the bi-annual increases!!

crosstownk · 22-01-2009 11:59PM

I've a bus stop 20 metres from the house and I use it rarely. Maybe if I'm off to town for the night or if I'm heading to Croker for a game. But I tend to use the car most of the time unless I'm heading out for a session - then the bus gets consideration.

That said I've often intended to get the bus but in sh!t weather I'll usually stick my arm out for a taxi if one comes by. Waiting on the 54A is like watching paint dry..........

chin_grin · 23-01-2009 12:00AM

I can't believe no-ones' replied with

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahah............no."

Too obscure eh?

Well on topic, I do get em. And every day I'm getting that bit closer to going postal as result. Also fuels my misanthropic ways. Grrrrr.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 23-01-2009 12:02AM

I cycle.
