When Can a Taxi Use a Bus Lane?

A taxi can use a normal (with-flow) bus lane only while it is operating as an SPSV – carrying a passenger, on the way to pick up a pre-booked customer, or plying for hire. Taxis must not use bus lanes if they are not operating as an SPSV – for example, driving home at the end of a shift, travelling on personal business, or transporting only goods and not passengers.

Taxis are not allowed to use contra-flow bus lanes (in which traffic travels in the opposite direction to the traffic beside it) under any circumstances.

Hackneys and limousines are not permitted to use bus lanes.

It brought a tear to me eye when the childers did dye,
Dat day did not have a chance to say "Mammy, goodbye"
I thought of Connolly and his hands that face the skye,
As I pulled into l'Ecrivain for some of Derry's Fish Pie,
Those poor wee childers of nineteen sixteen,
Being exploited by me, Joe - a gombeen,
I use their stories and make money from their pain,
I'm an artist you see, I need a villa in Spain,
I think of the homeless as they beg for a fag,
As I drove home to Clontarf in my luxury Jag,
I'll get me showbiz pals to say me buke is de best,
De fools dat buy it will add to my war chest,
I'm a socialist you see, and I care for me peeple,
They'll name a church after me, or maybe a steeple?
I'll lambaste all and sundry if I don't like wat day do,
But I'll do it meself if it saves a bob or two,
I speak Dubalinese with a heavy drawl,
I love Bertie, Ivan and anyone Fianna Fail.
I love misery, death, pain and anything bleak,
I get fees to avoid taxes you see....so to speak.

I can't be arsed writing anymore. I think you get the point.....so to speak?

I'm a senior citizen. The law doesn't apply to me.

I suspect Joe got caught in a lane trap, set for limo drivers and fat cats.

Perhaps he printed too many books thinking it would outsell 50 Shades Of Grey.

This guy has notions. He's a but clueless, he probably wouldn't even qualify as a proper taxi driver.

Joe or the caller?

TheHomeService · 21-10-2015 01:02PM

I wonder how much Joe's fine was when he got caught on College Green!

Atlantic Dawn · 21-10-2015 01:02PM

I got one of these letters, if you can understand English it's perfectly clear how the system works unless you are thick.

CarrickMcJoe · 21-10-2015 01:03PM

Play the ad again Joe...

SEPT 23 1989 · 21-10-2015 01:04PM

losing his marbles

he might have been handed the buke sales figures before the show

Dan Jaman · 21-10-2015 01:04PM

Joe and his buttons again. FFS, call in D'Arcy, he's got more of a clue.

ThisRegard · 21-10-2015 01:04PM

He'll be playing this ad for the rest of the day. You dick.

Dr.Internet · 21-10-2015 01:04PM

if you get it done 3 months early , it's valid for 1 year and 3 months

what am I missing, seems simple enough

So you can drive your car through College Green with a satellite dish stuck to it.

Not quite sure, but it seems like there's just a year from when it's tested printed on the cert, rather than say a year and 3 months from then.

ButtersSuki · 21-10-2015 01:05PM

Haven't listened this week and can't either today. Have to dash now but will read the thread later.

Laters.

ThisRegard · 21-10-2015 01:06PM

WTF, is that ad a real ad ? Dick.

He'll play this ad a pile more times, just because he feels he works too long anyway on a day, the more ads, the better for him.

Mike Guide 69 · 21-10-2015 01:06PM

"Slip it in........"...., so to speak

paddy cork · 21-10-2015 01:06PM

they took their tests too early . the fellow due on the jan28 should not have tested(as opposed to booking in ) his car before oct 28 (less than 90 days)

Atlantic Dawn · 21-10-2015 01:06PM

Did Duffy call it a scam? He regularly stops listerners in there tracks whenever they mention the word scam yet he uses it himself here when there's no such scam it's actually just common sense. He had callers in moaning last year that they couldn't get an NCT for months in January last year.

Ah, ha! Makes sense, ok they have a valid complaint. I just couldn't grasp exactly what the issue was!

sligojoek · 21-10-2015 01:07PM

Joe gets a new car every year so this is never going to affect him.

Atlantic Dawn · 21-10-2015 01:07PM

It would have been in January if your car passed 90 days before it was due, yours didn't so it was October correctly.

Dr.Internet · 21-10-2015 01:08PM

The voices are getting shriller

PeterTheEighth · 21-10-2015 01:08PM

Joe doesn't even understand the ad himself..
