Dublin Bus drivers could face fines for being rude to the general public

We have dreamed of this day ever since getting thrown off the 19A for accidentally underpaying our kid's fare in the 1990s.

We have dreamed of this day ever since getting thrown off the 19A for accidentally underpaying our fare in 1993.

But that’s a whole ‘nother story.

Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann drivers could face fines for being rude to the general public under new directives issued by the National Transport Authority.

Fines will be issued if buses are dirty, if the first and last buses of the day are early or late, or if the driver’s having a bad day and takes it out on you.

Glory be.

This is all part of new contracts within the company, which also state that Twitter complaints must be responded to within an hour.
