The bus services were always running late, and to make up time, some drivers would shortcut their route. This cut several minutes from their time, but it also cut several passengers off from their intended destination! After I read this post, it was obvious that Dublin Bus remains the inefficient hopeless service it was when I lived there.</p> <p>I remember that passengers say thanks as they pass the driver to get off a Dublin bus, but in my case this was short for 'Thanks, driver for not abusing me' or 'thank God I'm still alive.'

However, the bus terminated at Westmoreland St causing her serious inconvenience as her work was on Church St, which was covered by the destination stated on her ticket. We suspect that this was connected with the Finglas dispute. She mentioned the incident to an inapector more recently but she was asked to state time and date, which she does not wish to do because she does not want the driver to get into trouble.<br/><em>[posted by: Richard]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5316 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:46:11 +0000 MylesKenny 5316@http://busrage.com/forum/ the 140 was a new route now will more coming http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5304#post-5315 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:44:30 +0000 MylesKenny 5315@http://busrage.com/forum/ DB dont listen http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4539#post-5313 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:40:27 +0000 MylesKenny 5313@http://busrage.com/forum/ what was the wage agreement http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4539#post-5312 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:39:25 +0000 MylesKenny 5312@http://busrage.com/forum/ what was the wage agreement http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5079#post-5311 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:37:07 +0000 MylesKenny 5311@http://busrage.com/forum/ To Carla the best buses from Dublin Airport to the City Centre is the 16A and the 746 http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5079#post-5310 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:55:51 +0000 carla 5310@http://busrage.com/forum/ im loking for a best and cheap bus of dublin aeroport to the city center <br>thanks <br>carla from portugal http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5304#post-5309 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:12:16 +0000 SickCert 5309@http://busrage.com/forum/ Im not untouchable and im a driver. <br> <br>Complain to DB <a href="http://www.dublinbus.ie" rel="nofollow">http://www.dublinbus.ie</a> state time stop etc as its on the CCTV http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5304#post-5307 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:38:06 +0000 Anonymous 5307@http://busrage.com/forum/ Ive never had that happen before.<br/><em>[posted by: John]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5079#post-5305 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:23:02 +0000 lili133 5305@http://busrage.com/forum/ Ha are you kidding. The 145 is a joke. I can only get a 145 home and see countless numbers of 46a&#39;s go by before seeing a 145. But they too usually just drive by cos they are too full! they need to become more frequent and make sure that customers who can get a 46a dont take up a space of someone who has no choice http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5304#post-5304 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:19:10 +0000 lili133 5304@http://busrage.com/forum/ Hi all. <br>This morning i was getting on a 145 in stillorgan. The bus in question didnt even have 1 person standing up. I was just about to enter my ticket into the machine when the bus driver started screaming and i quote "get off the bus, get off the bus" "we are full!!! I said GET OFF". (There was only me left to get on-how much space can one person take up?)At half eight in the morning tell me who could put up with that. <br>I am a regular user of the 145 because i live out in the shankill areabut i was discusted to be treated in such a manner. <br>I burst out crying ( i know it sounds sad but i was that enraged that i had be treated so badly when there was plently of standing place (and even a few spare seats). <br>My boyfriend who i had intendind on meeting on the bus informed me that the bus driver did not stop at stops where people had their hands out. <br>He asked for the bus drivers name but he refused to give it. Should there not be a regulation in place that informs dublin bus users of who is in charge of their safety. The current situation is resulting in bus drivers feeling that they are untouchable and that they can treat people badly. <br>Can this situation be resolved please Dublin Bus- a formal letter of complaint is on its way. <br>Have many other people had similar experiences? http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5303 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:47:31 +0000 Anonymous 5303@http://busrage.com/forum/ while i go an fuk myself!<br/><em>[posted by: 12345]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5296 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:19:19 +0000 Anonymous 5296@http://busrage.com/forum/ learn how to spell!<br/><em>[posted by: 12345]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5294 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:08:05 +0000 Andruse Scaria 5294@http://busrage.com/forum/ Thanku for bus no 140 root hampton wood to city center .but in my suggision bus no 19 &19A should extent to hamptonwood road. http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5293 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:13:06 +0000 Lucas 5293@http://busrage.com/forum/ Currently this bus turns back on the last stop using local (access) road in Hampton Wood. Is it temporary route? I think that this terrible because this road is too near developments and there is too narrow also. http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5291 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:58:29 +0000 Anonymous 5291@http://busrage.com/forum/ AX509 on the first 140 this morning. <br>Followed by AX510,511,514,647. <br> <br><br/><em>[posted by: Av320]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5276#post-5290 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:41:26 +0000 collieb 5290@http://busrage.com/forum/ Its on the DB website as kicking off on Sunday this week.
