We’re not a bad lot.

THE BUS EIREANN strikes caused havoc this morning in Dublin, with the DART services and Dublin Bus routes out of service for most of the morning.

Whoops!

While it was commuter hell, as usual, the best side of Dubliners came out.

1. The drivers that were out before the picket, did what they could

2. Lifts were offered

Anyone need a lift from Dunboyne to Sandyford? Leaving in about 20 mins #IrishRail #DublinBus #BusEireann #liftfairy

9. It was happening all over the city

Why I ❤ Ireland? Strangers offer you a lift when buses decided to strike that morning. Saved me a 1h walk. #DublinBus #happyfriday

Massive props to Barry, a stranger that picked me up while I hitch-hiked to work due to #DublinBus strikes. There are nice people out there.
