Dublin Bus Opiniones 

Absolutely ridiculous,I can’t remember the last time a bus showed up on time.Dublin bus is either half an hour too early or an hour late, you’re lucky if it even shows up at all.Seriously,I’ve missed so many important events or arrived late due the buses not showing up at all.Ireland has somehow managed to fall behind every other country in transport because of one specific county and this company.Do better.

Waiting 52 mintues for a 27 bus to clare hall after 3 buses different didnt show up and 3 was cancelled
Bus drivers gettijng s fortune for driving a bus and dont show up cause their lazy

Dublin bus get your act together or find people who want to do the job

Today, 12th March. must have been the wettest day so far this year in south Dublin. leaving Blackrock on the S6
was made so pleasant by the lady bus driver. She was kind to me (I'm in my 70's), Kind to a young man and and patient and kind to the young school boys as they were leaving the bus. She was a ray of sunshine on such a frightful day! 98% of the time I find Dublin Bus staff very helpful and kind.

Stood and waited for the number 7 bus for at least 30 minutes and it never came!! I had to take an expensive taxi because i was running late for an important meeting. Jesus christ get a grip

In the last few months, between ghost buses and last minute cancellations notices on the app, I have opted to avoid taking the bus as much as possible. Today was the worse experience. Took a N2 from Heuston Station towards Clontarf. It was lashing rain and cold. The driver stopped in the middle of nowhere, I guess for a driver change. As no driver turned up, we were told to get off and that another bus was on the way. The next 2 buses were cancelled.the 3 rd one delayed. We were left stranded for 1 hour under the rain at a bus stop with no shelter. We were freezing,water had gotten through our shoes and socks. So wet and cold, I felt like I was going to pass out. One hour later the bus turned up. It was 4 pm when the bus I hopped on in Heuston station left. I finally arrived in Grace park on Griffith avenue at 6.15 pm freezing and distressed. If you can walk or cycle, you will spare yourself a lot of stress and get to your destination on time. I now do this as much as possible,and will do so even more. If you are on the Luas line,you are lucky,the only service which is of a capital city standard .Avoid the N2 bus,it is a disgrace

I LOVE TRAVELING ON THE DUBLIN BUS. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS THE DUBLIN BUS ALWAYS STOPS FOR ME. THANK YOU DUBLIN BUS MANAGEMENT FOR CARING FOR ME.

They can be very dangerous. I’ve seen loads of people going flying on the bus or falling because the bus pulls off too quick before anyone gets a chance to sit down or they brake too heavy coming up to a bus stop. The bus drivers lately a terrible.

This company is super bad! I remember once I threw some trash on the floor and the bus driver screamed at me! But I told him why does he not give out to the others since there is trash on the floor already!

The bus never turned up ,I was left waiting for 30 minutes for next bus in the rain terrible service.

The 27B from harristown to Eden Quay is a absolute disgrace. 17/02/2026 bus stop 1215 st lukes church 06.45 am . Minus 2 degrees outside. 27B due 06.50am no show / 07.00am no show / 07.15 no show . The 07.30 arrived absolutely packed . A brand new bus . Minus 2 outside i went upstairs without scanning my leap card. Why should I waiting 55 minutes on a 27B . Upstairs on the new bus was absolutely baltic on my phone it says Minus 3 . Colder on the new bus than outside. See them lads in harristown getting payed big money for sitting at a desk doing absolutely SFA but they leave there customers standing at there bus stop for nearly a hour in the freezing cold . The NTA TFI DUBLIN BUS especially them clowns 🤡 In harristown bus depot they must be sacked the people in coolock had enough

Stop 2721. According to the timetable displayed at the stop, the C1 was due at 11:12, never showed up. The C3 was due at 11:14, also no sign of it. Unbelievable how this company operates with such negligence while the government turns a blind eye to such a poor service. I would give 0 stars if that were possible.

At bus stop 3917 in maynooth there has been lots of times where when the bus comes and is supposed to bring people back towards Dublin centre direction , the bus driver only puts “ bus out of service “ and drives back to Dublin centre direction regardless and doesn’t take on any customers, bare in mind on the app the bus is supposed to bring you on the schedule time

G1 cancelled 3 times in a row and its cold raining and windy. Appaling service. Thank for the cold ive just got. No updates on the app. Website also not working . Ghost bus .
Would it give it 0 stars

The 12:10am E2 has failed to show up... Yet again.

This is probably the worst bus to try and get. It rarely shows up and leaves people waiting an hour for the next bus with no warning. Its gotten to a point I can tell you if this bus will show up or not.

Routes 15, 43, and 42 are extremely unreliable. Buses often don’t arrive on time, and many times they are already full and just pass by without stopping. We are left standing there with kids in bad weather, and children end up late for school because of this. This happens regularly, not occasionally. People rely on these routes for work and school, and the service really needs serious improvement.

The L2 could possibly be the worst bus in the history of this country. At least a dozen times have I been waiting at the bus stop for this bus to come just for it to be cancelled and I wouldn't be complaining so much if this bus didn't come once every thirty minutes and with no other way for me to travel from kilcoole I have to simply wait 30 minutes for another one which will most likely be delayed by 20 minutes. Would sooner put my trust in North Korea then this bus being on time absolute joke.

It is an absolute joke because the 73 is replacing the 123 bus route because I honestly think that the 123 was on time more than the 73 is on time right now. Like Go Ahead Ireland are an absolute disaster. DISGRACEFUL.

The Stars are only for the driver:
Great bus drivers — completely tone-deaf management

I was on the 39A this evening (early evening, Navan Road / Cabra direction, heading toward Manor Street) and I want to start by saying this clearly: the bus driver himself was absolutely sound — friendly, courteous, empathetic, and clearly aware of the passenger experience.

I overheard him being told over the radio that he was eight minutes ahead of schedule and was expected to wait. You could tell he was embarrassed and fed up — not because of passengers, but because of the rigid, top-down micromanagement that treats schedules as more important than human beings. To his credit, he didn’t take it out on passengers and reassured me I’d get where I was going. That deserves recognition.

And that’s the core problem with Dublin Bus:
the drivers are generally fine — management is not.

The people making decisions from an office clearly have very little understanding of what it’s actually like to be on these buses, either as a worker or as a paying customer. Passengers come last. The timetable comes first. Always.

I also need to raise a serious accessibility and sensory overload issue that Dublin Bus seems to completely ignore: the relentless, excessively loud, nonstop automated announcements.

I call her “Joan the Drone” — because the voice is penetrating, repetitive, and never-ending. This isn’t about Irish being spoken (absolutely no issue with Gaeilge). It’s about frequency, volume, and lack of consideration. Plus the fact, she does butcher the Irish langauge with a lot of her pronunciation with over stressed urús and seimhiús.
Every road. Every turn. Every few seconds.
There is no quiet. No pause. No relief.

For someone with OCD and ADHD, this is not a minor annoyance — it’s mentally exhausting. Even with noise-cancelling earbuds, the announcements cut through. Compare this with the Luas, where announcements are measured, calm, and minimal. It can be done properly — Dublin Bus simply chooses not to.

There was a time when taking public transport meant having a few quiet minutes before or after work. Now it’s an unavoidable sensory assault. It actively discourages people from using buses — which is ironic, given all the talk about climate change and reducing car use.

To be clear again:
This is not a criticism of drivers.
It’s a criticism of a management culture that is inflexible, out of touch, and indifferent to both passengers and staff.

Dublin Bus could do far better — and the fact that it hasn’t, after years of complaints, says a lot.

Totally unreliable, you'll be left in the rain waiting for a bus that doesnt show up, and the WiFi doesn't work, a disgrace all round

The 37 route is the most unreliable service i have ever seen. It never turns up and when it does eventually arrive it doesn’t go to its destination. It is a complete disaster, someone needs to take accountability
