    Its possible that Private coaches may have been a different matter given that back in the day many of them were operating in something of a legal grey area anyways ?

    You'd be surprised, People coming off the belfast train, when the longford and Wexford trains all come in around the same time.


    I'll admit, its rare.

    you are perfectly entitled to get into any taxi on the rank. Most drivers will request you get into the first car at the top.

    Perhaps, but this also happened on Bus eireann, maybe they had/have different rules to those cited for Dublin Bus ?

    As far as i recall private buses operated by way of the service being provided to you as a member of a club. Membership of the club was available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis I presume ! So perhaps thats the way they were legally able to refuse carraige if a fare wasnt paid. Having said that this was on an operation were the fare wasnt collected untill the coach had been travelling for approx 30mins.This operators who took the fare as passengers boarded wouldnt have had that problem so perhaps that is why it wasnt seen that often.

    Try just after 9am or 12.15 ! I have had to stand about waiting several times.Usually its only for a few mins but once or twice I ended up walking to the rank on O'Connell St.
