This was always going to happen.
Dublin Bus services stopped operating at 9pm on Wednesday night ahead of strike action on Thursday and Friday but it was always going to be the morning and evening rush hours when the effects were mostly felt and it’s proved to the case on Thursday morning.
Disruptions to the Luas Green Line services haven’t helped matters and with the bus lanes remaining closed to normal traffic, it’s a little bit hectic out there.
How has it been for you?
Services are extremely busy this morning and all available capacity is currently being utilised on our trains.

Absolutely nonsensical that you can't use bus lanes today. Traffic is bananas. #roadrage #busstrike

It hasn’t been too bad for everyone, mind…
I just drove Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City in record time, 40 mins early for an appointment. Am I missing something? #BusStrike.
