COVID-19 & Social responsibility . Ireland is no different to any major country at the moment. We have been asked as a preventive measure to confine journeys to essential ones only. We are told each and every one of us can assist. Some of the pictures shared in this series were recorded outside of what would be my personal confinement zone in leisure terms. Like so many contacts on Flickr I work in transport and am classified as an 'essential' worker. As such I travel to, and through Dublin airport frequently. Any photograph in this series is posted with nothing but the utmost respect to those worldwide whom have lost their lives to this silent killer. Any of us could fall victim to it.

West Midlands Travel for a while offfered an innovative fast "Airbus" service linking the Airport, NEC and Birmingham City Centre. It was a premium fare service (£3 single) which presumably was aimed at competing with taxis. There were at least two buses in different liveries on this service.

According to that fount of all knowledge, 'Bus Lists on the Web', AZD 167 was a 1971 Van Hool Re-body of a 1964 Leyland Leopard PSU3/4 chassis. Originally, I'd thought this too to be a Worldmaster, but it seems not. The CIE Tours liveried coach was seen working to Dublin Airport from 'Busaras', the City's central bus station. The picture was taken on one of those spectacular 'Day trips' which were possible by rail and sea from Crewe at minimal cost. The fare unbelievably at the time included a bottle of Irish whisky, and a bottle of wine... which could be sold upon one's return to a friend or family member for the price of your return fare!
I think that this would have been taken about 1980.

Lothian 437 (SA15 VTT) and 901 (SN08 BXP) in Airport shuttle mode on The Mound, Edinburgh, 20/07/2017.
Barcelona Airport has a rail connection to the city, but the Aerobus service has a higher profile serving as it does both terminals while the train runs only to Terminal 2. So if you arrive at Terminal 1 as I did you have a choice of taking a shuttle bus to T2 or just getting on the Aerobus sitting right outside and ready to go... While in the city centre the buses are sitting visibly in Pl Catalunya and the stations are hidden underground. There is officially a schedule but in practice the buses leave as soon as they are full so most of the day they run in a continuous stream.

BMTC introduced the Volvo bus service more than 2 years back. As per the Wiki entry about BMTC, it was the first public intra-city transport provider service to induct Volvo buses into service. They are also profitable - again as per wiki - the only one in the country. Good work.

Customers of Sea Coach water taxi from Sierra Leone's capital Freetown to Lungi national airport are carried ashore across muddy river water on the arms of Sea Coach employees; the reason: at low tide the Sea Coach boats can't use their own pier. T.i.A.
After that unnerving landing, the customers are pestered for tips from those employees who carried them to dry ground. T.i.A.
The customers had already paid 40 USD for the 20 mins boat trip (plus a short mini bus trip); the customers had certainly not expected to have to be carried to dry grounds by humans in a scary, undignified procedure.
But this being Africa, you pay thrice: 1. you pay the regular price to the company, 2. you pay with your nerves for the unexpected horrifying procedure, then 3. you pay the tip to the employee. He did his job, and you paid for it, so you have to pay the tip on top too, right? The tip is what matters, actually.
His face makes clear that you haven't paid *anything at all* unless you tipped *him personally* grossly.
And you haven't, have you. At least to him. And that's all that matters. You and the company don't interest him. He is what interests him.
If you *do* tip, he will receive your tourist dollar with a sour face: Your dough just managed to actively starve and strangle his extended family. You egoist. Why didn't you give the double, triple, quadruple amount? He saw the bills in your wallet. The money's there, so it should be his. You didn't hand out those bills. Can you justify that? If you had a good heart, you'd help. You didn't.
Shame.
