This morning.
Further to the cancellation of the Dublin Bus Nitelink service…
…Fine Gael Dublin City Council councillor Colm O’Rourke says:
“The decision to cancel all Nitelink services until further notice is the wrong route to take. The Nitelink isn’t just about clubbers and drinkers. It accommodates those working late night or early morning shifts, frontline workers, students working weekends who can’t afford taxis home and anyone else who is out and about and requires a bus. There aren’t enough regular Dublin Bus services that are 24-hours to get the public home.
“So many people in the Greater Dublin Area rely on this vital service. Dublin Bus aims to provide a service for the community rather than being solely about profit, so I think this decision should be reversed.
“I fear that it could also put those workers at risk who rely on this cost-friendly service to get home safely at weekends, which means more people walk alone through the streets at unsociable hours.”

Dublin-Bus must be unaware;
It’s not only those out on the tear
Who’re in need of a lift,
Lots more will be miffed
When they-have to rely on shank’s mare
No one gives a rats ass
About pedestrians, it’s gas
They can get on their bike
Or thumb a lift if they like
Or get a job back home in An Nás
A man takes a drink
the drink takes a drink
the drink takes the man..
the man’s out of sync
the man takes the link
the link takes the man… home.
‘The decision to cancel all Nitelink services until further notice is the wrong route to take’
Youve been degrading public transport the same way you’ve been degrading public health so FECK YA! Put ’em back, make ’em free.
Llike the Luas!
DB branding is the same colours as the HSE Covid stuff. Coincidence?
‘Until further notice’.
Another GO Fupp Yerself from the establishment to the poor working classes who struggle to make ends meet.
Who ever is in control never did night work or shift work.
Watch that economy fall flat in the new year.
Well said. So sick of this rentier artificial scarcity crap.
Should be 24 hour public transport in this city. This is ridiculous.
It reminds me of the fiasco during the summer.
Everyone was prepared to socialise out doors.
Then DCC decided having portaloos put in around town might give people the idea to use them.
Ya know with spending all their money on piss, then needing to go for one.
Only in Ireland can the public sector say they care about peoples rights and then do the exact opposite to cater for peoples rights.
If the people of Ireland were as Ignorant as the public servants who are suppose to serve us then I’d lose complete hope.
Thankfully we’re not.
Bring on the revolution ta fupp!
