It's every person for himself/herself in the mornings, especially now after the increase in petrol prices where people are reluctant to drive into the city.Terra Shieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039195435967190497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-88771894453468355272008-09-27T21:53:00.000+08:002008-09-27T21:53:00.000+08:00the commuter trains into Dublin are like that in t...the commuter trains into Dublin are like that in the morning. Thankfully I don't get them regularly but sometimes I spend weekends at friends who commute in and get the train back on Monday morning. It's so awful - people squashed and shoving, and so desperate not to be late that consideration goes out the window. People don't even give up their seats for the elderly or heavily pregnant women.<BR/><BR/>I would hate to do it every day too.Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110865608550754101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-62312431618328675962008-09-27T16:46:00.000+08:002008-09-27T16:46:00.000+08:00mullai: This was during your recent visit?

Yeah, that's true... no one cares anymore, which is terribly sad.<BR/><BR/>orhan: The problem with the system here is that there is no system unlike other countries :D I've sworn off buses since I got my car, but I do take the train ever now and then, but usually during non-peak hours.<BR/><BR/>lizza: Yeah... it's the peak hours.

I think even more so now since the train schedule is every 20 minutes now instead of 15.<BR/><BR/>travis: It was...

Thankfully I will buying my first car soon and will be using the trains and buses far less than I have the last 10 years or so.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you have a not-so-negative view of things such as these.

They didn't even really care I had a baby in a stroller. Everyone was pushing and rushing.<BR/><BR/>MullaiVikram Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385415767687758452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-65592845073001184322008-09-27T09:28:00.000+08:002008-09-27T09:28:00.000+08:00Oh man.
