Bus services stink!!


My experience of using the public transport has been a bad one. One day It took me two and a half hours to get home from college in Dundalk which is a disgrace considering I live only about an hour away in Skerries.

The bus eireann buses aren't too bad, they are quite regular but on the other hand sometimes they don't turn up which leaves you thinking I'm going to be late again, stupid buses! And why do they bother call the Dundalk to Dublin express when it stops off in Drogheda adding another twenty minutes to the journey. You would swear who ever is in charge has no brains at all.

Dublin bus services are a whole different kettle of fish, it is far worse. The route I take to get into the city centre is bus 33 and is the worst bus service ever. The buses are always always late, it is unheard of for one to be on time. One day I was waiting on a bus in skerries and 3 buses drove by but none of them went to Balbriggan.

More people would use public transport if it was frequent and reliable. Buses are inconvenient when they leave you late, try explaining this to your boss. Bus services are an inconvenience, no one wants to stand at a bus stop for ages in the cold when the buses are late or when they don't show at all.
