I agree. Not ony is there doubtless fair evasion across all routes I would suggest, but in general there is there is anotehr issue, which is the disgusting disregard for the vehicles themselves. I never remeber getting on the bus ten years ago and seeing so much graffiti, abandoned food, drinks spilled everywhere, chairs kicked out of shape, windows engraved with knives, smoking etc.

We need to get some respect back for the service, which, by and large is operated by good vehicles at a cheap price. Dublin bus will make a decent chunk of the inspector money back on the savings on repairs alone, before they ever issue a fine to a fare dodger.

Anyone seen the upper back of brand new AX477 lately? completely covered in writing and engraving, some of the worst I have ever seen. And this ona bus that operates only on one of the allegedly less vandalised routes, the 15's.
