    The security staff ACTIVELY look for tourists who are unaware that the trams that run on rails in…read morethe streets require riders to tap their Leap card on a card reader at the tram stop before boarding the tram vs on the tram itself (unlike the busses and trains) and to tap again when they get off. Failure to do this may earn you a €45 fine or even €100. My wife and I asked two black clothed tram security workers if we were at the correct location for the destination we wanted. They said yes and asked us if we had Leap cards. We did and we showed them. Once on board the tram and underway, they scanned our cards and said we owed a €45 fine for not tapping in before we boarded. There's no lienency or grace. It seems the Luas system is designed to ensnare the unsuspecting and ignorant tourists to make up for the real scofflaws that don't pay for rides. Ireland and it's people were awesome except for the those that conspired to create and operate the Luas Leap card system and it's zero tolerance policy around tapping in and tapping out. The tram riding process isn't well documented in public. It might be online but I didn't procure my card so I can't comment on that. My advice, walk. It's better for all aspects of your health vs letting a little Luas infect you.

I walk from Trinity college to Stephens green to be told that I have to wait on the wrong platform for 8minutes and then, when the tram arrives I'm told (me and 300 others) to change the platform. SHAME SHAME SHAME I'M STUPID THAT I PAID!!

    This is among the most infuriating buildings in Dublin, though chances are you'll never be inside…read moreit. No, you'll be sitting in the bus parked outside the EverReady garage. It's a sort of limbo lottery as the drivers switch, sometimes it's immediate. Sometimes you have to wait for them to have a chat, a smoke, realize that the wrong guy is there, wait for the right guy to finish his tea back at the depot AND THEN wait for the three of them to have a chat, a laugh and another smoke about it. And all this before delivering you to work late and with a story nobody ever seems to believe. Though the service is improving I have been sat here for over half an hour before.

    I love the 46a! Ok I know that sometimes Dublin Bus gets a knock but on the whole the 46a gets me…read moreto where I want to be in town and home again. This is the bus service that I used to get to school as a child so I have fond memories. The bus drivers are great although I did experience a change over that was not timed as it should be but it is still an experience. Listening to people talk on their mobile phone is amazing it is though people don't realise other people can hear the conversation....yes I do listen. I had the fastest trip back from Dublin once it only took 30mins when normally it takes 45mins! The downside is that you cannot get change and I don't understand why - the number of times I have not got the right money and I am sure the driver would not appreciate writing a credit for 30c! The buses are mostly clean and you do meet the nicest people who are happy to chat - ok I am happy to listen to them chatting - apart from the one lady who gave me a lecture for being a smoker. I love the 46a

    I have to say I'm not normally one for bad reviews but this taxi company....terrible…read more No customer courtesy, I book a taxi with an hours notice, the taxi still manages to be 20mins late and no call. I call them and they say they are still trying to get me a taxi! I stand on the road and get one instantly. This is the 3rd time I've had to cancel a taxi with them even with day's notice because they have made me late and I catch a taxi from the street. The first time I had problems with them, I got a message saying the taxi had been dispatched, 15mins late I call them asking where my taxi is....they were still trying to find one for me!!! Learn to keep your customers updated. There are simply no excuses. I can honestly say now, I'll be using other companies. This one has had its chances

    Very disappointed with the service, booked a return to the 3 Arena for my parents 70. They were to…read morebe picked up at their hotel and brought down, I had given all relevant details to the taxi company in writing when I paid in advance . As this was a return I would at least have expected the driver to arrange a pickup location prior to letting them out. He didn't do that, nor did he give them a card to call him on, the number he did give was a full message box as nobody answered the phone. My parents had to walk half way back to their hotel before getting a taxi at half the price. I will never use their services again .
