Buses don't stop at every stop along the route. When your bus approaches you have to extend your hand for the driver to know to stop. Or if you're on the bus you have to signal the driver to stop. Otherwise the bus won't stop and will continue on. And if the bus is full then it won't stop even if you hail it. This part is fine. Here's what does my head in.
I even asked about this in the Dublin Bus office and was told that I just need to learn them. Fortunately, there is a Dublin Bus smartphone app that bridges the divide. Thank goodness for that free Wi-Fi.

At the bus stop
- Buses collect passengers at bus stops or bus shelters.
- While waiting for the bus, please queue in order of arrival.
- Please put your hand out to tell the driver that you want him/her to stop so that you can get on the bus.
- As the bus arrives and leaves the stop, stand well back to avoid the side mirrors on the bus.
- As the bus approaches check if it’s the right bus for you by watching out for the destination and route number on the front scroll.
- If you need the bus to be lowered or to use the ramp, just ask the driver when the bus stops. You will hear a bell/buzzer while the bus is kneeling or the ramp is being lowered. Please be patient and stay clear until this has finished.
- The bell/buzzer will stop when the operation is complete; it is now safe to get on the bus. For your safety, please do not attempt to enter or leave the bus from the side of the ramp.
- If you are vision impaired or are unsure whether the bus is the one you need, just ask the driver, who will be pleased to help you.
- Please allow other customers to exit the bus before you get on.
- Please queue and enter the bus on the left hand side if paying with coin or Leap Card and on the right hand side if you have a prepaid ticket or paying with Leap Card flat fare.
