A lot of the out of service buses seen during evening peak hours are heading into the city centre or pre-chosen intermediate stop to go on route because half of the buses are caught up in a jam somewhere. They go in "Special" to get into the city centre or as near as to get the people back out. That story about the buses bunching for safety up is true believe it or not but there was a time when they would stop miles from anywhere, ie the last garda station out and not go any further.

I was looking at the journey times thing on the revolves the other day and couldnt believe it that they have given the 39 80 min to get into town. That is the average time, bears no relaity to conditions on the gound esp at rush hour but is still 25 mins more than 10 years ago. Mad.
