Students are forced to pay for taxis home after Dublin Bus suspended routes due to anti-social behaviour
not to tarnish “with the one brush” all 28,500 students on the south county Dublin campus because of the anti social behaviour of “a small minority.”
“That’s the 145, the 39A and the 46A. We’re seeing significant upset with students who are waiting, studying in the library at the night and they’re coming out at 9pm, 10pm, 10.30pm to get a bus home only to have to wait for up to an hour and see several buses passing by and then they’re left with no alternative but to get a taxi home and it’s costing them upwards of €50 - money which students don’t have.
Mr Murphy pointed out that the university pays for security guards at the main gate to watch the bus stops every evening after 10pm. “In the last six months they haven’t witnessed any anti social behaviour. I know it’s outside their control once the students get on the bus. But anywhere else in the city there is anti social behaviour on buses, you could get on a bus on O’Connell Street and have the same things.
