Dublin Bus drivers are at the brink of no longer stopping at overloaded stops in the city centre due to ongoing capacity and security issues.
With the ongoing taxi shortage in Dublin coupled with the introduction of 24 hour bus services drivers are faced with more customers at popular stops than available capacity in their vehicles. And there are now fears that another dangerous incident, similar to the tragedy at Wellington Quay in 2004 where five people died, could happen.
On top of that there are ongoing issues across the network with anti social behaviour. And a recruitment drive is currently underway to bring up the number of drivers currently working for Dublin Bus.
