THE BUS STRIKE continues today, and the people of Dublin struggle on.

1. When a snail is just as fast as you, you learn to appreciate the bus

No matter how long you might be waiting.

2. People have to actually WALK now

What are we supposed to do now? Get up, EARLY?

4. There’s time for a little nap in the car

But you can’t stay asleep, like you can on the bus.

5. You’re not getting on a Luas any time soon

Whether you want to or not.

I don't think I'll be getting a Luas soon. 🙂 #DublinBusstrike pic.twitter.com/vFzrd8oVjx

Please, think of the grown men.

13. And sure look, without the bus, where would you get jokes from?

Whoops!
