Dublin Bus 83

This bus is so handy for work. It’s never packed which is a bonus and when timing it on the bus app, it actually turns up (most of the time) when it’s supposed too-​unlike the 145.

This is one of my favourite bus routes (is that wierd?). I have been taking it since I was a child living in Kimmage and it goes to some great places.
Rathmines! College Green! The Quays! Smithfield! Phibsborough! Botanic Gardens! And beyond!
Perhaps it’s the nice leafy areas this bus goes through but the bus drivers always seem a little more friendly on the 83.
It does have it’s traffic issues as it travels through some of the more traffic jam phrone areas but taken at a quiet time of day this is a wonderful bus to get.
Sit at the front on the top deck for the best view.

Its a bus, what can i say? its got 4 wheels, a driver and lets passengers on and off from the front door.
Certainly the transport in Dublin could be better especially i am sorry to say on the northside which does not have the benefit of the Luas and now will never seemingly have the metro but losing buses from the city just is not going to answer that problem and so few of the buses even go anywhere near my job anymore so i have no choice but to use my car.
The 83 bus trip has become a bit of an around the world because recently they got rid of the number 19 bus and now the 83 has tried taking in its route too which means you are sitting on the bus while it goes up and down extra roads which were not previously on the route but at least they have free wifi on the buses so now you can spend time checking out what is going on in the rest of the world.
