Spotted this on Camden Street [Dublin 2] last night; it replaced the normal neon orange one so these might be replacing existing ones in Dublin?
Less light pollution on the street, OK, but impossible to read if you are more than 3 foot from it especially in the twilight.
Don’t know what it does after dark.
Not sure I like it, but hey, I don’t like change anyway so I’m a bad judge.
Anyone?
On my way home from a @dublincycling meeting and had the joy of two close passes from @dublinbusnews No. 37 in Stoneybatter. First he overtook me and pulled in sharply in front of me, forcing me out of the lane. He then did a punishment pass a few seconds later. Why risk my life? pic.twitter.com/RpAJgThdS3

How does it take 2 hours to get a tow truck to a bus on Dawson street? Not a rhetorical question.
Anyone?
Who’s driving this bus?

Meanwhile…
During an item on the recruitment drive on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland this morning, Vivienne Kavanagh, Dublin Bus Employee Development and Equality Executive, was asked about pay.
Ms Kavanagh said:
“It starts at about €630 a week. And that’s a four-day week, inclusive of shift and Sunday premium so they’re working late shifts on Thursdays, over weekends. And then you move up onto a five-day week which is about €860.”
Further to this…

This man stopped a packed bus because his relative flipped off the (black) driver and the driver refused to drive with them on and this is how he’s reacting. He looked me in the eye when he said “these foreign bastards” btw. Die. pic.twitter.com/anUeJbFgIm
