Dublin Bus Burning Rubber in the Snow

Dublin's roads were iced up today after heavy snow fell on roads just before rush hour.
The last 39a bus out of town before Dublin Bus suspended services got stuck on Manor Street.
It couldn't get enough traction to get up the slight incline, and had to be abandoned.
Fair play to the driver who spent about 30 minutes trying to get us up that hill.

[@MrPleonard11]

you know what fair play to that driver i was on that bus and that was the first of 3 times he got stuck on manor st before he finally gave up

[@AlexSong1707]

So from what I remember, the 2010 snow in Dublin was caused by a volcanic eruption in Iceland, which disturbed the sun's rays coming down to Ireland? Then in 2018, I remember seeing a bus get stuck in the snow outside my house. It was an SG on Route 15 (Didn't see the fleet number)

[@rhys0065]

fair play to him for actually trying,since the bus is an automatic its alot harder

[@cm_channelyt]

This is gonna happen again in about 3 weeks time I reckon!

[@floodedcar123]

Kick snow at the tire while it is spinning, what a lot of help that will do.

[@jack253]

Hmm Despite the Volvo B9TL Tri-Axle bus is the most heavier bus in the Dublin Bus fleet this could be the reason why it struggles within the snow.. I'm sure the Volvo B7TL didn't had this problem nor the Volvo Olympian..

[@justinobrien3593]

They should put over drive on these £250.000 busses as at that price you woukd think it was fitted as standard then this problem wouldn't happen! As there's nothing worse than rear wheel drive cars/vans/trucks/busses especially in the uk/Ireland 😎

[@SoftlyKillinMe]

did that blond girl think she was going to push full of pasangers lol

[@Mad4Tractors1]

Is that what ya call burning rubber? wheres the smoke!

[@mindthegaproblox442lol5]

Great video

[@paddyoclown]

you would think a few would jump off and give it a push out of the ice patch. or that the drivers would be carrying some sorta griping device for times like these. its not like they dident know the conditions before they left the depot

[@ciaran4589]

it weighs 12 ton 16 ton fully loaded,she aint going nowhere

[@lifesahobby]

All busses should come equipped with a tea pot for exactly this reason

[@mandyscott20081234]

A here trying to push a double decker bus is nothing compared like pushing a car!!! Only Ireland

[@denismoloney27]

I was sure that blonde girl at 1:12 would be able to push out the bus

[@LordNavac]

"YAAAAAAY!!..... aww."

[@cjt28]

im old bruh

[@MrRichie185]

second axle and automatic gearbox didnt help this situation

[@FPVsean]

sucks having rear wheel drive automatic busses now doesnt it dublin bus!

[@trainsify]

I Think It's High Time Dublin bus Invested In Snow Tires & Or Chains For It's Busses.

[@Fcutdlady]

David Cashell we don't get snow often enough to justify the expense

[@simonwall23]

needs more diff lock

[@Kittamaru]

My question is... why does only one axle drive the bus...?

[@edwardtye4119]

My 10 year late answer is that it's cheaper to build and maintain.

[@Kittamaru]

@@edwardtye4119 I guess, though it seems like it would make this sort of situation more common, no? I mean... I can just see this bus getting hung up because the first rear axel is in contact with the ground, and the second isn't (or is just barely touching)

Old remould tyres are fucked. Ok for 3-4 years and next thing . Not prepared

[@allycatt25]

The year ireland got snow (:

[@killthebums]

dublin bus needs some snow chains!

[@idynaahui]

get more people from the street in the back and you will get there

[@MrPleonard11]

@progie1 think you were looking at the 39a that came behind him. This muppet got stuck once and gave up and he had a full bus. at least the 1st driver tried to get it moving and only gave up after third time getting stuck an hour an a half stuck all together. second driver looked like peter griffen from family guy the fat git i'd say he was in more of a hurry to get to the chipper

[@Rubberbanditboy]

And if kicking more snow didn't work why not try pushin the bus...ya.... The paper bag was almost a better idea

[@railroad007]

Tsk Tsk put people in bus rear it will help more heavy the bus' wheel will not slip :-)

[@darkoanton5]

Every year they get crappy weather and then say they are not used to it. Well, get used to and stop living in denial. Prepare for it. Their average lows are close to freezing. What do they do with all that rain and then it freezing at night

[@Foloman1]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste How would you know that Dublin is boring? You don't know a thing about Dublin!

[@tib1135x]

Haha

[@vxlks7]

ObamaisHalfCaste HalfCaste Dose it matter if Dublin Is Boring? Think of it this way Imagine YOU lived in Dublin. Amd people hated YOUR town. how would you feel. It's our city and we can do whatever we want with it.
