Post by: dalymount on November 20, 2019, 01:06:42 pm
I'd say this is going to have an adverse effect on the business of night drivers . Starts on 1st Dec

I wouldn't worry about it dm,  it might help clear the drunken twats that pay you in shrapnel,  students and the like. It also might entice more people into town, knowing they might have a better chance of getting a cab when its mad busy with xmas parties and the like.  I'd be getting worried if they put it on all year round on every route.

The buses will be busy when we're busy.
About time too.
Now we need staggered closing times for pubs and clubs.

They are only TRIALING two routes, if it's successful, they will roll out the rest

The 15 will be very successful........empty by the time it leaves Templeogue Village. No self-respecting Knocklyon-dweller would be seen getting off it..... Dublin Bus were recruiting for this eventuality not so long ago......different contracts. Won't be long before they're all laid off and rehired under new terms.

Pity we wouldn't take a leave out of their book when it comes to protesting, he farmers will stay till they get a result, while taxi drivers drive round in a circle for half a day and think they have won a concession. Then they are told to fukk off home, and Like good citizens that they are, they do just that

What do you want to strike for, DM? Most dispatch firms say they can't cover the work, we're getting an albeit small increase... should we look for something a lot more substantial, say 63% in an effort to bring supply and demand into equilibrium, noting that we have offered substantial discounts when supply has outweighed demand?

I'm basing my comments on a time when we actually WERE justified in taking protest action, now now
