Bus privatisation has been a disaster for us, but this government is in denial.
I got contacted every week by people who have missed or are late to school, work, interviews, etc. as a result.
We should have free, frequent, and reliable public transport - instead, we're getting more GoAhead...
Privatisation has been a disaster for our bus services, which workers and commuters are paying the price for!
Every week I get multiple emails from people reporting ghost buses, full buses passing by, and massive delays.
Are you facing the same issues on GoAhead routes??
ÖPNV mit Bus und Bahn in Dublin ist toll geregelt:
Es gibt eine Guthabenkarte, die man über ein Bankkonto auflädt. Beim Beginn der Fahrt hält man die Karte an ein Lesegerät und der Maximalbetrag für den Tag i.H.v. € 6,00 wird abgebucht. Am Ende der Fahrt stempelt man aus, und das Guthaben zu den tatsächlichen Fahrtkosten wird wieder gut geschrieben. Mehr als € 2,00 habe ich noch für keine Fahrt bezahlt.
There is the bus stop. And there is the pole with the electronic sign showing the alleged live times of buses, bizarrely, about 5 metres in front of it. (Why didn't they just use the same pole? Less street clutter!)
I stand at the former. Because, obviously I do. It's the bus stop!
The gaggle of foreign students stand at the live timing pole.
The bus stops there, not at the bus stop.
Repeatedly.
Why do they do that?!
If this keeps up, I might ask to go down to 1 day a week in the office. A 90 minute commute home for 9km is not sustainable.
@tog It's also just down the road from Kylemore Luas stop, as well as bus stops (for the 13, 54, and more), and right beside the Grand Canal Greenway for anyone cycling.
I feel that may be important info for a lot of people interested in Tog Hackerspace.

@mullvadnet advertising on #DublinBus is just what I like to see!!
We need more 24 hour bus routes and the NTA should make the new number 80 route to Ballinteer one of those 24 hour routes.
Ever wonder how they cut the trees in the exact shape as the double-decker bus?

#dublinbus has chosen this special time (a day ending in y) to cancel my bus. Which was already running late enough to be the next bus anyway. Sigh.
