I have lived in Dublin for one year, and gone back there many times since, and I had never thought there could be a whole story behind the queue at the stairs of a bus. Apart of being a writing masterpiece, this article is very useful for tourists! Thank you Karen!

You have to read the signs at the station to know where you are and completely ignore the voice on the speaker and the red ticker tape screens telling you your somewhere completely different. It doesn't bother me because I'm from Dublin and know the stops but it must be tough on the tourists.
