Dublin Bus

Dublin Bus wish to advise that there is currently a limited bus service operating. This is due to extreme weather and icy road conditions. This is being further worsened by traffic ongestion and slow speeds across the city.

Dublin Bus is making every effort to maintain a level of services but this is proving very difficult due to the worsening road conditions.

A very limited service currently operating on Routes 7, 13, 15, 16, 19(northside Only) 20, 27, 31, 40, 41, 45, 46a, 65, 65b, 77, 102, 128, 140, 145, 150,

A very limited level of service operating to Tallaght, Ballyfermot, Howth, Malahide, Ballymun, Finglas,

No services currently on the Lucan Road, Blanchardstown, Ranelagh, Ballycullen.

Further updates to follow from Dublin Bus once information becomes available.

The country has officially entered "Meltdown" state

Ah come on Citizen.
I saw a bus on O'Connell Street today around lunch time just skidding into a layby by it's own accord. There was nothing the driver could do - he had the steering wheel turned fully right but the bus skidded left. Luckily he was only going a couple of miles an hour. I spoke to a bus driver just after that who said two buses had jack knifed near the north strand and just skidded accross the road with the drivers losing control. Do you realise the consequences of a full double decker bus toppling over?
