Why do people feel obliged to stay in jobs they are not happy in? No one is born a driver, if you don't like it get a different job

Privitise the lot, and state fund the routes that abolutely need to be funded.

****in unions making a balls of everything again.

There's very little commuter rage on the show, I was expecting people to be calling in looking for blood.

Who's more opinionated, a Dubalin Taxi Driver or a Dubalin Bus Driver?

In fairness CIE management are brand leaders for incompetence.

What if a Luas and a Dublin Bus had a race on a straight stretch of road and track, winners get the raise?

Dan Jaman

We'll soon see nurses marrying LUAS and bus drivers, as the Guards fall down the pay scale. Where are the firemen in all this?

ButtersSuki

Well we learned yesterday that Bus Driver was the most respected profession out there!

Itssoeasy

Lads am I wrong but is the luas company a private company and not the same as dublin bus ?

bigroad

The wage is 517 euro starting for four shifts from thursday or friday through the weekend on the late shift.

BPKS

In fairness, the bus driver probably spent 5 years down the pub getting to be a know-all.

Park Royal

Three months holidays .....no way do bus drivers get that...

Atlantic Dawn

The teacher and Garda have pensions when they retire, they are worth a good 30% plus on top of their salary.
