    I imagine if there are no passengers they go into full wacky races mode and deploy tacks, spikes, scythes etc...

    It was great when there were no retarders on the bus...

    Oddly enough,not ALL Busdrivers feel the need to gesticulate to fellow lodge-members,some may merely raise a (pencilled) eyebrow or lift the nose just a tad.

    :D

    Exactly. For example, I prefer 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'.

    That's why I always get out of it as quickly as possible.

    I do too but I blame my own inadequacies more than the city's.

    Ah, but the theory goes that it's better to break up cosy cartels.

    Cartel is a good word to use. Apparently any Dublin Bus driver that goes to the other side runs the risk of having his genitals severed off and stuffed into his own mouth.

    You wait for years for a Bus Driver Salute thread to come along, and then two of them appear within three months.

    Think of the amount of kids that use the 155 just to go to school along the route. That sort of news is very frightening to them & for their parents.

    They have completely different jobs and social statuses, why would they salute each other.

    One is a man with a very high skill set. He can drive a bus. He has a pension, a *thousand quid a week*, job for life, shift allowance, sick pay, probably lives in his own house in Beaumont or just outside Dundrum. Nice wife and kids who will all go to a nice school.

    The other guy is just a bus driver. All he can do is drive a bus.

    Wow, bus drivers earn over €90k per year! Amazing!

    Has he moved on from opposite the children’s hospital though

    Another thing why do they say Dublin bus driver when he is African :confused: do they mean the name of the company?

    If they are going slow enough they could try and moon one another.

    OP must be an NBRU official with a grudge.

    More competition = higher standards and cheaper fares.

    Dublin Bus use to exist for the drivers and not the public and in some ways that mentality is still there.

    I, for one, welcome the outsourcing of routes to the private sector who have a vested interest in serving the public.

    Your calculations seem to suggest there is 90 weeks in your year. Where are you from?

    My bus driver didn't salute the driver of one of the rival busses I could have taken.

    Such a Dublin problem. Wouldn't happen outside the M50. Mainly because we basically don't have public transportation.

    Ah, but the mutual wave between Bus Eireann route 22 drivers is a thing of beauty though. Brights, beeps and waves galore.
