I started college there last week and on my first night out got the bus ,at the second stop a bunch of lads (of their heads with the drink) got on . About 30 seconds later they started singing hallelujah then started banging the roof and singing a "thiarna den trocaire AHHHH CHRÍOST DEN TROCAIRE!!!!" as they were getting out they all stopped to sing the national anthem
Was on a bus home from college a couple of years ago and this drunk fella gets on with some buttons on his shirt undone and a tie wrapped around so he's pissed drunk. He's only on the bus for about 5 to 10 minutes but during that time he's convinced he's on a train then makes bird noises while everyone is trying their best not to start bursting out laughing, poor young fella sitting next to him was having a laughing attack when he got off
Can remember getting the bus home from Belfast to Armagh after a big weekend of partying, zero sleep, I decided to get a quick sleep and woke up to the bus driver shouting at me saying last stop, well didn't I just end up in Monaghan. Mum wasn't too happy to collect me lol
My auntie commutes from north Offaly to south Dublin and she listens to audio books and language cds for 5 hours every day I couldn’t do it I’d end up driving into the wall. Except for one day a week when I has the two johnies podcast
I went to secondary school in Fermoy. I know of 6 teachers that drove from Limerick every day. From what they told me it's a good 1hr 10/20mins. Except for the one teacher that lived the other side of limerick city. Took her 1hr 45m at least each way. I'd get up at 8am to be in school for 8:30😂
Was up in Dublin last week on a course. Travelled from Cavan. Cannot understand how people commute to Dublin everyday. Absolute nightmare commute. I reckon it 6 o clock leaving house and home at 7 or 8.
Yes, I was rather shocked to see such traffic buildup coming out of Dublin on motorway to Waterford. Basically, any mid to major American city is a nightmare but keep in mind most of your motorways are two, three lanes whereas ones in Texas and California can be six or eight in Houston or Los Angeles Metro. Despite Dublin being the Capital, it's not a very expansive city compared to the mess of Los Angeles which is almost a solid Dublin to Galway suburb. American infrastructure is old and woefully inadequate for today's volume. I knew someone that commuted two hours one way from Connecticut to New York City for years. Imagine that in winter snows where you're getting up at 4-4:30 AM to go to work in darkness and come home in it.
I was on the bus to Waterford going to college and a couple sits beside me on the back of the bus and whips out a pipe and starts smoking crack then she offered me some and I politely declined hahaha
Oh lads yer gas. Embarrassing moment on a bus for me was. I am from co clare. Got the train to dublin for a gaa match. And when we got to dublin we had to get a connecting bus. What do you think happened me been new to public transport. Mistook how steep the steps were getting on the bus and fell up the second step. Needless to say i was red like a tomato but laughed it off at the same time. Will never travel on public transport again 😂😂😂 takes fair skill to fall up a step. Still embarassed to this day 😂😂😂
We had a French student that came to work on our farm and he had a day off and he went out but he fell asleep on the bus and ended up 2 and a half hours away from where he was meant to be stopping
I always get stuck next to the strange people , one of the worst was a crazy old lady who was roaring at me telling me I needed to drink beer to make my hair grow while she pranced around the bus 😂
I live in Westport n train is handy straight to Dublin but we have to change in Athlon to go to galway. In early 1900 there was train from Westport to achill but now is a greenway
Was on a bus on the way home from Dublin to limerick after the all ireland semi final , the bus was packed and the only seat left was beside me and i was praying someone decent was going to get on the bus but no this old lad came on the bus who was after coming home from a holiday in Brazil weighing about 20 stone he sat in the inside seat by the window while I had the isle seat about 10 min into the journey home he fell asleep and started falling over to my side of the seat so I pushed Over and ended up sitting on about 1/4 of a seat all the way home from limerick while he took up most of my seat and his own . The most painful journey in my life
My funny bus story is that there was a old woman on the bus and she shit herself but nobody wanted to say anything and when she got off the bus, everyone on the bus cheered, I pissed myself laughing when everyone cheered because I thought I was the only one that smelled it.
I use to work in the free travel section and amount of bucks getting it just for the sack of having it like you wanta get friendly with with someone over 70 or anyone else with a compoin pass sure you’ll get the bus or train for nothing then
About a year and a half ago I was in second year on a school tour in Paris I am in a wheelchair everybody else god on the bus before me I was crawling onto the bus up the stairs and next second this big black French lad put me over his shoulder and just carries me onto the bus without saying a word and then just walks off the lads thought it was hilarious I thought it was so funny I was vibrating
Not sure this counts as a commuting story but me and a friend were in Costa Brava for a drinking holiday. Leave it until the night before we leave to book a bus to the airport obviously it being our last night though i'm pure flaming as we book. So we get up anyways and hanging out of our arse's walk an hour to the bus stop as i had selected the wrong one, only to find when we did finally get their that i had bought tickets for 2:00 instead of 14:00. Didn't say a word to the friend and thought fuck it we'll chance it anyways. Get chatting to a yank and he sound, bus comes we show are ticket and as i had suspected we were told we were not allowed on the bus. MY buddy is fuming but thanks to the drivers poor English my cock up was still kept secret. Eventually the bus driver said we could buy new tickets for that bus but as i was living in Tanland at the time i only had stering on me and my buddy had nothing on him. Well the Yank came through to save us and he got his money back with an extra £20 for helping us out. He didn't know what it was worth though and thought we had just given him monopoly money. Anyways we make it to the airport only to find out the plane was delaid and any of the following two buses would have gotten us there. My buddy still has no idea of my cock up!
