my dad’s a coach driver. He picked up the Flaming Lips at Dublin Airport last year #claimtofame (he had no idea who they were and he said they were quiet and slept most of the trip)

They had lovely buses there.

I have thoughts about buses and there fucking useless planning when it comes to bus stop intervals but, I will save it for another day cause once I start I won’t be able to stop it angers me so much.

Generally great just don’t get stuck on one during a medical emergency.

Remember back before Google Maps and stop announcements on buses and it was a fucking nightmare working out where you had to get off?

Amazing how quickly this became a problem of the past.

Caught a national express coach from London Victoria a few weeks ago and it was the worst experience ever, or at least since the last time I caught a coach from London Victoria anyway.

Worst place in the entire world

Joke’s on him, for some reason none of the Leap card machines were working all summer so I didn’t pay for a bus for about three months.

Or a bus stop home would just have a tiny sign for the bus company and not even a printed timetable.

So you’d have to check before you left the house, memorise the timetable and just hope it turns up because if it doesn’t you don’t even have a phone to call someone

If there’s a hell for buses, Bus Eireann are going straight there.

By the time I finished college it was almost €35 for a return from Clonmel to Cork. Criminal.

They used to. They don’t at the moment but soon* there will be bendy buses that look like trams for some reason.
