14 weekend transport struggles every student will understand
EVERY WEEKEND, STUDENTS from around the country board buses, coaches and trains in an effort to make the round trip from college to home.
It’s a treacherous trip and not for the faint of heart.
You will have to deal with…
1. Mentally preparing yourself for a four-hour bus journey and feeling nothing but dread.
Whoops!

2. Having to fight your way through the hopelessly disorganised queue forming outside the bus.
3. And being forced to deal with this nonsense as you scour the bus/train for a seat.
Whoops!

4. Exchanging fake hellos with people you haven’t seen since secondary school.
What you say: “Heya! How are you getting on?”
What you’re thinking: “Please God, don’t sit here.”
5. Neglecting to bring your headphones and being at the mercy of the driver.
Whoops!

6. Having to deal with unpredictable Wi-Fi courtesy of Bus Eireann.

7. The pain of boarding a bus with an extreme hangover.
8. The scramble to squeeze your bags into the luggage compartment, while this plays ad infinitum.
9. THE STRESS OF THIS.
10. Standing on a train for several hours.
Whoops!

11. Discovering midway through the journey that it isn’t a direct service.
12. Sitting on a roasting hot bus and being unable to cope with the heat.
13. Or conversely, freezing to death under the air conditioner.
12. And as if all that wasn’t bad enough, even the tickets make you feel inadequate.
Whoops!
