   It is really fustrating that this routes buses are always full, yet dublin bus feel it OK to only put two buses out per hour. many a time ive been left waiting up to 40 minutes for a bus on either line and in this day and age it shouldnt be more then 25! ive written to DB's about 4 times but i never get a resopnse...

   maybe if db had more buses and drivers then there may be more buses on route.there are numerous brand new ax buses lying dormant up in broadstone,they dont have ticket machines for them.once that gets rectified, and the 300 new drivers that they looking for happens then maybe the running bill will change.thats a big if

   When the 48a is finally put into history SOON, you may get the other two buses.
   Broadstones stock is mostly reserved for the two new routes.

   These buses are rarely full.

   Ive used the 14/14A quite a bit and never had a problem with them.
   
   Last week at about 9.30am, think it was a thursday there were at least 3 14A's and a 14 at Dundrum.

   Which would be a tremendous error. But too few are standing up to the government.

    Less direct way to reach Ballinteer Road; forced transfer for passengers headed up Dundrum Road towards Milltown and Ranelagh (44 gets overloaded, since the 48A served as a Dundrum local bus in addition to going to Balinteer); fewer bus trips overall on Dundrum Road (Luas is no help for that corridor). Not to mention a greater burden on the 14 and 14A, not to mention the 75, from Broadford Park to Dundrum Road.
    
    Extending the 14 and 14A to the Dundrum Luas was a grave error in and of itself. Note the lack of positive anecdotes, on this thread and others—to wit, that reliability has been ill-affected, never mind the low frequency. Removing the 48A will aggravate this problem even further, since passengers who would have otherwise used the 48A on Ballinteer Road will now be forced to use the sparse 14/14A trips.
    
    Is D42C a decision-maker at Dublin Bus? No vindication of DB's errors will be found here, sorry. Have a lovely day.

    No, D42C is a muffinmaker, in a coffee shop! He;s quite content with his job and doesnt see himself moving into the decision making business untill he leaves college.
    
    Anything else you would like to know?
