Not only do Dublin Bus users have to contend with six days of industrial action across the month of September, but they also recently learned that service will grind to a standstill the night before the first official strike day.
And with the Luas strikes still fresh in the minds of the public, commuters are fearing the worst as hundreds of thousands are set to bear the brunt of the upcoming Dublin Bus strike.
Thankfully for us weary commuters, Hailo have decided to come to the rescue and are offering a special deal for commuters at specific points during the first 48 hour stoppage this month.
According to the Irish Mirror, anyone taking a taxi between 6 - 7am and 10am - noon this Thursday and Friday can avail of a 50 per cent discount.
Commenting on the generous gesture, Hailo in Ireland's General Manager, Tim Arnold, said: "We’re anticipating a huge surge in demand during the upcoming bus strikes, so are encouraging Hailo users to choose off-peak travel where possible."
"The recent Luas strike days have been very busy for Hailo and in particular for Hailo Prebook," he added. "We’re committed as always to getting our customers to their destinations."
Hailo, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
