The 79/a does not go as frequently as it purports to on the timetable and when I once asked the guy who seems to be in charge of the buses on the quays about this he replied with a rude and agressive retort that left me very upset. <br> <br>Now yesterday I see that the 79a is being diverted away from inchicore. This means that almost half (32 of 65) the 79/a service is being cut from going down inchicore road. <br> <br>This is crazy given that the 79/a is rarely half full (unlike the other bus serving the Model School the 78a which is always very full) and lots of people get on/off on the Inchicore road. To divert an undersubscribed bus so it doesn&#39;t go past lots of passengers is crazy. <br> <br>Also it means that coming from town and heuston station tourists will have a reduced service to Kilmainham Gaol, the HIlton and IMMA. <br> <br>It is simply crazy to make public transport less accessible to people who (despite poor service and rude attitudes) continue to use it.<br/><em>[posted by: cb]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/5202#post-5295 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:12:05 +0000 Mick Happy 5295@http://busrage.com/forum/ Does Mark Boohan have anything positive to say about Dublin Bus .

I have never come across a route that is managed on such an ad-hoc basis. The timetable appears merely aspirational. Most (with a few exceptions) of the drivers saunter along at a lethargic pace with a view to missing their next departure time. Any enquiries to inspectors on Aston Quay are met with hostility as if one asked an impertinent question - they seem too much in cahoots with the drivers they pretend to manage. Problems cannot all be laid at the door of traffic congestion as other routes leaving Aston Quay seem to fare a lot better (51B,78A, 90 etc.etc.). It has to be a candidate for the worst most inconsistent bus service in Dublin.
