Maybe you're just hungry !

Harristowns AV217 on route 83 is seen in Glasnevin heading to Kimmage - its mega rear says it all..

Low Floor 75

With all these transfers & withdrawals happening, Dublin Bus have made 5 more routes fully wheelchair accessible.

The 7a,31,31b,67x,& 75 will all be operated with low floor buses from Monday 11th August 2008

The 75 was one that I am happy with, over the last few years anything could turn up on it, and was very rare to see anything other than an RA/RV on it.
But over the past few weeks, AV's and AX's have been operating the route, with the odd RV.

So heres a photo of (whats going to be) a common sight.

AX611 on the 75 on Sunday 10th August 2008 in Tallaght Village.

Aren't they lovely !

Over the last few years, Dublin Bus have brought new types of buses into operation, the VT & EV. The VT (Enviro 500's) first arrived in the batch of VT1-20 in 2005 and were allocated to Donnybrook Garage, where they still are today for that high frequency route 46a (City Centre-Dún Laoghaire).

Then they launched the EV (Enviro 400's) in Summer 2007, spreading them around Dublin Bus garages in a batch EV1-50.

Then in 2008, they brought more of the VT class into service, another 50 in a batch VT21-70.

They were delivered in batches & took a couple of months for all to arrive. VT21 was the last to arrive as this was a trial bus for a company in Sweden, and has only recently arrived.This batch are allocated to Phibsboro, for routes 10,39 & 70.

The 2005 VT Class :

Those taxi's !

Well, its the first of many post for the site so lets make it something we all know.

Taxis' using bus lanes ; wats your view on it ? leave a comment.

The one at the bottom of Sth. Great Georges Street in the City Centre really annoys me, its bad enough its 50% of taxi's using it, but then for them to make things harder for buses turning from Dame Street.

Mr. Taxi man has his own invisible white line in which he stops at !!
