Sometimes, it doesn’t even pay to get out of bed in the morning.
Even when it’s well after 9am, there are no pesky school runs in the way and you get to enjoy a nice bus journey through the leaf-lined suburbs of South Dublin.
To explain: Minister for Transport Shane Ross took the bus into work today, and tweeted about it. The responses were as cold as ice.
Bus is warm . Leap card great .Flew thro Stepaside , Sandyford ,Dundrum and Milltown. One less car on road! Mind you 44 was almost empty

A lot of people concentrated on the fact that the tweet was sent after 10am, when the roads are usually clear.
Everyone is in work already……

try get it at 7.30 when people are going to work. Nice that you can pat yourself on the back for an utterly awful system

How can something as cold as this cause such a bad burn?

These people know the real Dublin on a weekday morning.
I'd suggest you try take the 16 bus on a weekday morning in rush hour trafffic and tweet about that journey 🙄

Still, nothing is spoiling the minister’s fun…
