Dublin Bus have launched an investigation after one of their double deckers was filmed driving down the footpath of a busy road to avoid traffic.
The incident was captured on camera by a commuter on Tuesday morning between the Rathfarnham and Terenure areas of Dublin 6. The video shows the bus overtaking traffic on the road by driving between the cycle lane and footpath, in close proximity to nearby houses.
The video generated a major response on social media, with Fianna Fail Councillor Keith Connolly blasting the incident as "completely unacceptable". He wrote on Twitter: "I'm glad to hear an investigation has been launched by @dublinbusnews. A clear case of dangerous driving that I’m sure @GardaTraffic will also be investigating."
