‘Eh, WTF?’: 9 People Who Definitely Forgot The Luas Was On Strike Today

After a fortnight of Luas strikes back in February, and more over Easter, we’d hoped that the commuting nightmares were over for a while.

But not quite. Luas drivers went on strike again today, but not everyone made a note in their diary…

1. There was this woman, who ended up stranded at the Red Cow

Who’s the idiot that got the Green Bus to the Red Cow today forgeting about yet another Luas strike?
*Hint: Me

 2. And this commuter who made the fatal mistake of buying a ticket BEFORE checking the real-time display

Paid 2.90 for a luas ticket this morning, bloody thing on strike, drove to get bus, met a 2nd cousin who got me free on her bus pass

4. Not to mention this girl’s bad week…

5. This lad forgot his umbrella too. THE WORST.

Great. Forgot about the @Luas strike. Only got a 40 minute walk in the pissing rain now. #wankstains #Luas #greedybastards #sackthemall

6. This girl wasn’t too sure how the whole Dublin Bus thing worked…

The regular bus goers must dislike the #luasstrike even more than the luas goers. I feel like a tourist “how much is it to x?”

7. While this woman feared she’d never make it off alive

There’s a very good chance I’ll still be on this bus when @TeenageFanclub play in December, never mind when tickets go on sale #Luas

8. We really felt for this woman…

9. But hey, at least we all had an excuse to be late for work!
