Dublin Bus Wan*ers

We have a ranting and raving forum for this, there's a whole thread for public transport. You've no proof he was shopping and not making an emergency visit to a toilet, hence total lack of sympathy. And on a forum known for pisstaking- this is what you should expect here.

Hahaha typical Irish trait, anyone dares complain there subject to ridicule. Just put up with what your given and keep your mouth shut. Pathetic

Can you give examples of excellence in service in other European countries so that we can compare and contrast?

Pathetic is crying like a bitch on Boards when you don't have the bottle to speak to the driver yourself.You will miss those "Irish traits" you seem to despise if you end up having to emigrate!

Hey man, I wouldn't worry too much about it, honestly there's more important things in life.

Whilst you're a student, learn the difference, oh, and "Just put up with what your given and keep your mouth shut. Pathetic"

Nee naw, the grammer police has arrived!

In fairness there's the *possibility* he desperately needed to go to the toilet and that SuperValu was the only place nearby but I'd imagine it was to pick up shopping. It doesn't take 10 minutes to take a s**t!

I know exactly how the OP feels. It's this attitude that permeates all of DB. They know they can get away with sub-standard service with 0 repercussions. We've all seen it.

Just the other day I was waiting for a bus at the terminus. It arrives 7 minutes after the time it was supposed to depart which means he was probably around 17-22 minutes late (they normally park up for about 10-15 minutes). There were 4 people including myself waiting and I was about to find an alternative route just before he arrived.

You'd think he'd let people straight on and try catch up with the timetable but no. He turns off the lights and leaves the door closed. I knocked on the window and he just shakes his head. I said "YOU'RE LATE", shakes his head again. I was pisssed off so I pressed the emergency open button under the flap thing and he tells me he's going to leave after his cigarette!!

I should point out that this was about 10 pm so there was no traffic to blame it on. The driver is running 20 minutes late and instead of apologising, explaining the reason for the delay and getting a move on he decides, instead, to leave the customers clueless outside in the cold and have his well deserved smoke break.

In any other job if you're tight on time or things are extra busy you have to just suck it up and work that bit extra. But no, not for the CIE jobs club - it's an employee orientated company, never mind the customers.

Pathetic is some sad little keyboard warrior who resorts to name calling to make themselves feel big. Grow up, your pathetic:D

I am not sad enough to be forced to work my life to suit the bowel movements of a bus driver as I can afford a nice car(thanks SIPTU) .You are proving my point.You wouldn't open your mouth to me face to face,just like the bus driver.The only "keyboard warrior" on this thread is you.

For the sake of 10 minutes what's the big deal. If I was in the situation I would laugh it off and be thinking "Only in Ireland". That's not a bad thing though. Would give me a small sense of community spirit. I'd say if the driver knew you'd spend the evening whining about it he wouldn't have done it.
