Have decided to stop working for the day and leave everyone stranded trying to get home, also hear the Luas may be gone too!
Good luck to anyone trying to get home later on who's relying on public transport! |

Well if the roads are too bad then they have no choice because if there was a crash etc. From a safety point of view it could be the right call. Howerver if you are stuck that is not much good to you, but then again if the roads are not passable what can you do. |

http://www.dublinbus.ie/ - http://www.dublinbus.ie/ 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.

I was coming home from work in the snow last year and was on the Upper Kennesfort Road heading towards the N4 and a bus came sliding towards me side ways - the bus was all over shop eventually it got stuck in some heavy snow.
If that bus had of hit my car from a side on collision it could have toppled on my car and killed me and possibly others. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

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? |

Fully understandable decision alright. The risks are much bigger than when driving a car.But are the council not using salt on the roads? ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

My business is buses, and 99% of our business is night time, Ive grounded the fleet since midnight Saturday resulting in no income.
The reason - I dont want to have to live with the consequnces of one of my buses overturning and killing all occupants, and in such a situation I could well be charged with corporate manslaughter for operating a service in dangerous conditions against the advice of the Gardai etc.
Ye its a disgrace  ------------- I know nothing :-) |

The Buses finish up at 9pm this evening. Fair play to Dublin Bus, they have performed well in this in my view. Must be scarey as f**k for the drivers when they lose control of the bus. |
