You may have just read Stripes few words on Dublin Bus's radical new
change to bus tickets, the so called "2 Easy" tickets (The name "2 damn
fucking useless" was rejected by Dublin Bus on the grounds that they
couldn't fit the whole phrase on their advertisements) replacing the
travel-ten ones. If you haven't then go read that first dammit!! My god,
you morons have no sense of continuity, read the start stuff first!!
[Whooo, calm down there Thayl, before I break your elbows - Stripe]
Spurred on by their blistering triumph of phasing out all chances of
saving money with your travel-ten tickets, Dublin Bus are certainly on a
winner with another well thought out economical time saving idea, the
Travel-Jump ticket. Being pushed with the catchy slogan of "Just jump in
front of a bus", the directors of our finest public transport monopoly
have practically redefined the way we use bus tickets. The new
Travel-Jumps will be sold for ten pence each and will allow you to stay on
the bus for one stop only!! Handy or what? So instead of that boring bus
journey into town where you veg out on your seat for half an hour, now
you'll have the pleasure of getting off at every stop and getting on again
by using another ten pence Travel-Jump ticket. Planning on making any
semi-long bus journeys? Don't forget to bring a rucksack full of
Travel-Jump tickets, hopping off and on at each stop, enjoying unhindered
passage on any Dublin Bus throughout the city.
Opps, sorry did I say unhindered? These new Travel-Jump tickets
actually have a few limitations, which Dublin Bus assures protect the
drivers, the passangers and the timetables. *grin* Your friendly ticket
inspector will soon be explaining how the TJ's can only be used on bus
routes with *even* numbers in them. (Tough luck you 69ers, hahah) Also,
during the peak times of 8:30am to 9:45am, and 4:15pm to 7pm these tickets
will only work on the newer white buses, unless it's a women driver in an
old single decker green one, then you get to stay on for half a stop,
unless your middle name is Derek, in which case you'll have to show
student ID in order to be let off the bus within a mile of Bray, but only
if you're the seventh son of a seventh son, or a supple maiden of virtue
true. There, a simpler set of instructions I have yet to
encounter.
So, Travel-Jumps, the new replacement for the already popular
2-Easy tickets. Enjoy constantly jumping off and on and off and onto the
bus again, with the all new, Travel-Jump!!! -This has been an
advertisement feature on behalf of Dublin Bus, Changing
with the City- -And when we say changing, we mean for the better, not for
the worse- -Honest, it's not like we're just putting stupid arrows on our
buses saying stuff like "Super Low Floor", "Engine Is Here" and "Four
Super Roundy Wheels" or anything-
