BUS SHELTER 1725 AT DOYLE’S LANE ON CLONTARF ROAD

IT IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THAT I HAVE SEEN IN DUBLIN

I was lucky as I arrived at this stop just ahead of a really heavy shower of rain. While I was there two large dogs arrived and remained in a section of the shelter until the rain ceased.

This is described as an island bus stop as a cycle track runs between the footpath and the bus stop waiting area and shelter creating, a pedestrian island at the bus stop that is segregated from the footpath. This design resolves the conflicts associated with in-line bus stops, that is, the conflicts between buses and cyclists on the roadway, and the conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians at the bus stop. However, island bus stops create a potential conflict area on the cycle track behind the bus waiting area, where pedestrians need to cross the cycle track when moving to or from the bus stop.

BUS STOP NO 18 – A REALLY ANNOYING LAYOUT

BUS STOP NO 18 – A REALLY ANNOYING LAYOUT

There is no real time passenger information display making, the problem described, even worse.

When I lived in Carlingford Road this was my local bus stop and I hated it. Unless you have used it you may not appreciate what the problem is. The bus shelter is positioned in such a way that one cannot see an approaching bus until it has actually passed the stop.

On a wet day the stop is very badly exposed and even then it can be difficult to see an approaching bus to the extent that the bus drivers frequently just drive by without stopping.

Dublin Bus was established on 2 February 1987, when Córas Iompair Éireann was split into 3 subsidiaries, Dublin Bus, Bus Eireann and Irish Rail. In September 2011, Dublin Bus received a significant technological upgrade with its introduction of real time passenger information.
