Petition: Reliable Buses Now

Affected by a no-show or ghost bus? Report it below (direct link here) and please consider signing the petition below.

We the undersigned call for:

  1. An action plan to end Ghost Buses in 2025: Transport for Ireland should provide details of how they will end the no show fiasco, and ensure all cancelled buses are properly reported and updated on the live travel information
  2. Recruit & retain bus workers and mechanics: We support the workers in their fight for proper pay, conditions and union rights so we can recruit and retain the staff needed for a reliable bus service
  3. Increase investment in public transport from the government, to increase the frequency and reliability
  4. End the privatisation experiment: No to the renewal of contracts with Go-Ahead or giving them more routes, instead bring them back under Dublin Bus, as a step to reversing privatisation of public transport.

We believe privatisation has failed, and that would be made clear by a genuine public review of the privatisation experiment across public transport by workers and commuters, including opening the books of the private operators to see the profits being made. Instead, we believe public transport should be a public service: free, fast and frequent.

    I’m in process of moving from Sutton over to Kingswood. The H3 is one of many unacceptably bad bus services. Something needs to change.
