Just like every other bank holiday, it’s annoying that public transport uses a standard Sunday service.
Get public transport. But we’ll reduce it at peak demand times. Ridiculous.
The most oxymoronic thing I have heard all day (I am awake 30 mins).
Reduced service for Irelands national holiday.
“sure, you aren’t in work, you won’t need the Luas.” /s
I guess LUAS have the data from previous St Patrick Days on Sundays etc ?
They have to pay extra to tram operators and higher volumes will make it nigh impossible to check tickets, so it’s in their financial interest to deliver as low a service level as their contract allows. Anything else is a waste of Transdev’s money.
Public transport service operates on Sunday hours for bank holidays? Is this a new revelation to some people? Have they been living under a rock and not known that all public transport operates on Sunday timetables for bank holidays and it’s been that way for decades?
Increase fuel price to nudge people towards public transport and don’t actually run it. Profit??
When I see dublinlive as a source I expect warnings of killer tornados.

When I was living in Toronto, they expanded public transport on public holidays like NYE and even made it free for a window of a few hours if I recall.
There will be a huge amount of the public requiring transport on March 17th. And in response to this, **less** public transport will be made available. It is literally the opposite of logical.
Same as here. My local rural bus has said they’re not running on Paddy’s Day or the 18th. It’s stupid
Ah jaysus Joe !!!!
Sure can’t you hitch a ride on one of thon electro scootables I hear so much about. Sure don’t you care about the environment anymore at all…..
Don’t start me on how ludicrous it is that the last luas is at 12.30am at the weekend, we should get a tram every 30min until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, that would be an amazing “public” service!
and that’s reduced from the usual lazy version of the real timetable – waiting for drivers to finish a smoke at Sandyford etc, sure we’ve all the time in the world
As far as I know the Luas is free but should still run normally on Paddy’s day
Classic Ireland.
How silly.
Assuming unions have issues with forcing too many drivers to work.

That is very stupid alright.
