Meanwhile the poor sods depending on public transport to get into the parade are left high and dry again. It really is terrible the way it appears to be sacrilegious nowadays to try to get passengers to where they want to go in the event of a strike.

I remember a Bus Éireann strike about 20 years ago where they hired in loads of buses and there was no bother. I think there was a picket at Busaras but people were able to get buses on the street and it was all quite amicable.
Wouldn't surprise me if talks breakdown tomorrow or Wednesday they will operate the buses. It's not as if the bus operators will be doing anything else on Thursday.

Given Transdev are going back I think they are close to getting the increases they wanted as in 3-5%.
