Bus Eireann

Same with the 220, two following each other How does that even happen?

For most of the route, they cannot pass one another.
If a road is wide enough and if the first bus pulls in, the one following can pass, assuming that no one on that second bus is getting off at that stop.

The bus 2 becomes bus 1 and he now is the first to arrive at the stops so he stops and after a while the other catches up again.

When they get to their destination terminus, Union rules kick in and they have their break.

Once the brake is over one will go off service and will take a short cut back to the middle of the route and then resume the route from there.

This is the problem when you have Dublin rule and no local knowledge

On a typical journey from Blackpool to Douglas, the average car journey time has increased by about 25%-30% from 2019-2023 — that’s a very significant increase,” she said, giving one example

Stupid thing to say of course as during that time period the traffic flow in the area around Mc Curtain Street was all changed and that fucked up the travel time as that misinformed Dumplin visitor came out with ?

After serving our city for the last 12 years these two ladies are departing for another depot.

The reallocation of double deck buses to routes 216, 223 and 225 is now imminent.

Big issues with MC single deckers in Capwell, 4 of the 16 C buses are as such obsolete now as they need injectors that used to be made in Ukraine.

Why is her gender relevant here? The word "female" is used four times in the article, as well as in the headline.

Is this going to be held up as another example of hate crime/gender based violence?

A lot of this shit seems to happen in Limerick.

If a man is a victim of a crime, it's a crime. If a woman is a victim of a crime, it's a gender-based crime.

What's so hard to understand about it?

I'm waiting for a certain Limerick woman to comment on the incident.

The 202,208,214, all cross from northside to southside, surely it would make more sense to have buses staying on one side of the river, keep out of the city centre

Those buses are very important for trade links between both sides of the city.

A lot of consumers on the southside would be very upset if they couldn't get deliveries from their northside suppliers.

Also how would norries get to the courthouse without a Trans-Lee bus service?

A small little rap on the knuckles is all the offender here will get.
The legal system is gone to shit and the scum can do as they like as they will never be appropriately punished.
No wonder BE have a bit of a recruitment issue, even now over the last few days, many of you may have noticed Kearneys and Cronins double deckers operating city routes here.
