    Top Option: a Power Socket.
    Bottom Option: a toilet.

    Assume for purpose of this AH thread - note it wasn't published in commuting and transport that only one option can be chosen.

    The socket. Toilets on a bus stink the place up.

    To be able to rely on them without being worried of them ****ing off on strike. Thats all I want the knowledge they will keep showing up.

    Socket. Don't need a toilet, I just do it on my hand and toss it out the window.

    Neither. Irish people, (especially people celebrating by getting drunk and youngsters) would not be able to be trusted with such luxuries.

    On short journeys i could do without either. On longer journeys (an hour or more) definitely a toilet.

    Not an option on the poll. Offer the driver a cigarette one of your own before the journey so that he won't grunt. Or tell driver he can switch of the smoking warning sign/buzzer and smoke along while driving.

    Toilet but not even so I can piss. I choose it to deprive all those ****wits who play music out of their laptop without using headphones. I know if they have good battery life on their laptops it wont help but there ain't much you can do about someone who plans out their dickheadness.

    Offer driver a free beer or cigarette packet to consume after journey in return for turning farmer voice off.

    What would I like to see on a Bus Eireann bus? How about they fucking arrive on time or actually arrive at all first? If you're living in the country and relying on their service, then you're facing buses that arrive sometimes 40 minutes late or not at all.

    Dublin bus has improved a lot in the last few years in fairness ...when they are not on strike that is. My bus is quite good. Yeah inter county is ****e. I used to go to mullingar a fair bit a couple of years ago and I would get the train from Connolly rather than the bus. It would still take an age.

    Go bus and Citylink have toilets on the buses and they dont stink up the place,

    what does stink is the jax in athlone bus station which is your only option to do yer business between Galway-dublin with bus eireann.

    Unless yer battery life is ****e id say you should be able to manage on them for most routes in ireland

    Neither are of interest.
    A rollout of nationwide LEAP replacing that contrived BeClub setup would be appreciated. (required to reduce walk up prices by 13%, to be cheaper than citylink, for frequent but zero hour commuters. )

    It's ridiculous that Bus Éireann don't have toilets on long haul buses. I have IBD and I actually can't use Bus Éireann for this reason. Not that I would want to. Citylink and GoBus are quicker and cheaper anyway.
