I'm lovin' it!

Incitement to fare evasion! This McDonalds ad has started to appear internally on buses recently, I think its clever marketing... and shows the good value of Dublin Bus fares too!

Trueform for Aircoach

Aircoach has now followed Dublin Bus and Swords Express by installing new Transport for London style bus stops, manufactured by Trueform Engineering.

They look much better than the old stops, one of which featured on this blog before as it has reached the lowest low, of its timetable being on the ground!

Keep it down!

Have earphones become too expensive these days???

I have no problem with people listening to music on the bus, I listen to my radio during most journeys, but why do some people have to sit there with their music on loudspeaker so the whole bus can hear it??? If I want to listen to that song, then I'll put it on my own ipod! Then to add insult to injury everyone on the bus was subjected to an attempt to sing along to the song too... Don't give up the day job!!!

Maybe Dublin Bus could invest in some of these TfL style posters...

That little bit...

If your a bus user (or driver!) and your reading this then you know exactly how this feels...

The bus lane ahead is empty.... but were not moving, you glance forward and the corner of another vehicle is just blocking the bus lane ever so slightly... This small inch means a bus grinds to a halt despite the empty bus lane ahead, and if the way doesn't clear quickly, soon enough there will be a queue of buses waiting... and waiting...

Its so frustrating... and wastes so much time... so if your a motorist reading this please be considerate and keep to the other side of the white line...

New Camera...

Following on from the last entry of a photo from my first ever digital camera, here's one from my brand new Canon camera...

VT12 on the 46A... a pretty boring photo but with a new camera I was snapping everything around...

Flashback...

So while setting up my new computer and doing a general tidy up, I came across some CD's with no labels on them, being curious as to what they were I put them in the computer...

Turns out they're from 2004 and are photos taken with my first ever digital camera... Remember the days before digital cameras!

So from Summer 2004, here's WV3 on the 150 in City Imp livery in Fleet St. The RV in the background is on the 14A, both the 14 & 14A were also terminating in Fleet St. at the time.

and we're back!!!

Well after some technical problems I'm happy to report that we're back online. Apart from some sneaky peaks at work (tut, tut, I hear you say!) and some fiddling with my wonky broadband connection, I was offline and unable to blog, but now all it back to normal! Horray, I hear you say... and what best way to illustrate the problem with my wonky broadband connection than with this wonky picture...

This photo was taken outside Busaras and don't those signs just look fed up, exactly how I felt being offline! Plenty more blogging to come, its great to be back!!!
