And it’ll probably only get worse.
By now, you probably know well that Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann are participating in industrial action today and tomorrow in a move that is going to cause serious disruption to commuters this weekend.
During the strikes, traffic is going to be brutal as commuters seek alternative ways of travel and it’s worth checking out this advice by the AA to find out the areas that are likely to be most affected and the best method to go where you need to go.
Early on Friday morning, the effects of the strike had already taken hold and people weren’t shy in taking to Twitter to let everyone know how angry they were at the disruption it has caused.
Just talked to a man who says he spent an hour and a half walking in from Glasnevin to town because of the #busstrike.

An increase in traffic with the #busstrike yet the bus lanes remain closed to cars??? Typical #Ireland making sense
