These things are such pain in the ass, These bumps often are also reasons for some accidents, the authorities should put action with this issue.

I'm an avid driver too, and unnecessary speed bumps are only additional pain in the arse. The right authorities shouldn't have placed them everywhere they liked without proper assessment.

Peter: About the Bus Lanes and buses being unreliable: i dont think we should give them a chance at being reliable. they should be banned alltogether. they clog up the road, carry very few people, make out that your doing something wrong by not giving them right of way when they dont have it, and, even though i am not an Enviornmentalist nut, they produce too many Carbon Dioxides. one bus with 80 people produces slightly less carbon dioxides per person then 80 cars. but if there are only 60 people on that bus, each person is producing more than if they drove!

I am not saying your wrong: buses could work, but, do we really want them to? would you give up your daily commute of 20 - 40 min in your nice, warm comfortable private car to be stuck in a bus for the same amout of time with other people, who are just as pissed off as you? i know i wouldent...

The VRT is a bad joke, that's true. But about the bus lanes it's all wrong approach in my opinion. Bus lanes are there to make buses able to move when everyone else is stuck in traffic. What happens now (especially here in Cork): people do not give public transport a chance but then blame public transport for not being reliable. How on Earth could buses be on time when bus lanes and public roads are obstructed by cars parked and driven anywhere - only because people are too lazy to look out for proper parking place and walk back or cannot leave on time.
