you can't tell people what to do

i've no idea, i'm talking at large but a few people travel in the luggage compartment,

it's lost revenue and just doesn;t make sense

I'm ashamed to say I laughed way too hard at that.

Bus Eireann drivers are not allowed to help passengers with their luggage because of the compo culture. It makes me very fukkking sad

She probably shouldn't have climbed into the luggage compartment without alerting the driver.

Bacon and Cabbage

Should have stood clear while luggage doors operating

25 kms. it evens itself out, its economy of scale

Their seats are fairly uncomfortable,wonder what the luggage compartment is like?
The little boy in me says it would be cool to try...nearly time he went home though.

I'm sorry the woman has cancer but at the same time it's not relevant to the story.

Sensationalist misdirected outrage. If she was a Roma woman she'd probably be arrested.

Don't climb in the boot and you won't get stuck in it.

Was just thinking the same thing... The media annoys me so much sometimes.

The biggest surprise for me is that she wasnt described as "the most vulnerable in society"tm

Exactly.

"Someone got trapped in the luggage bit of a bus for a while but they're ok now."
- "Ha! What a gobshite!"

"Someone with cancer got trapped in the luggage bit of a bus for a while but they're ok now."
- "How awful, god bless them, and hopefully the driver is fired and sued for his negligence."

Why the hell does it even mention cancer? 25km.. Non story.

I know it's after hours but seriously? If any of you had ever had chemo or similar you would realise that she was probably hanging on by a thread and couldn't face any kind of pleading or heated discussion with the driver and just hoped to grab her bag and get home in one piece.

Why would she be pleading or having a heated debate with the driver? "Give me 2 seconds my bag is a bit buried , cheers"

"I've a bad back, missus. Grab it yerself."

And cancer patients tend to be repeat users of certain routes at a given time.

Who said anything about asking him to get it for her?

no ones fault really as far as I know bus drivers dont read minds?

If she was fraile then she should have told someone/bus driver before getting in to get her bag and to wait till she got out. sounds like she brought it on herself tbh. that said if she was tired [given she was on treatment] then she might have enjoyed the lie down in there...and shock horror...intended to stay in there for the journey! :O

The cancer angle should get her a slot as a guest on The Late Late Show.

Can imagine the rags...

"boffins have claimed that travelling in the undercarriage of coaches can increase the likelihood of getting cancer"

Canis Lupus

A few soft bags in the hold and you could make a nest and have a sleep. Try doing that in the uncomfy chairs uptop...

Hooked

Can just see the headlines...

What are you Doolin there?

Stand Clare... Doors opening...

'Old bag' discovered in luggage compartment....

She's lucky the next stop after ballyvaughan was Doolin!

Skerries

I hope she was charged for the extra milage

Perfect fodder for the Lavelahn, (particularly with the cancer angle)........ But then again, Joe's on holliers, so maybe not.

People appear to be forgettins that the driver would have had to open the luggage doors so obviously he had to know she was getting a bag.

How else was she going to get her bag if it was in too far to reach?
