Anti-social behaviour has long been an issue on public transport across the country, but most recently, issues with teen gangs intimidating passengers at DART stations has become a common conversation online.
People have been sharing their experiences on social media, and despite an outcry from the public, the National Transport Authority said it does not believe transport police are necessary.
One passenger took to Ireland’s Reddit forum to detail their experience this week getting the train to Howth Junction, where a gang of teens blocked the entrance and were intimidating people who were simply trying to leave the station.
