Reduced capacity public transport causes havoc with Dublin commuter mornings.

This morning on Dublin Talks we spoke to a number of Dubliners who've been affected by the reduced capacity public transport rules.

Transport capacity has been reduced to 25% under the governments latest level 5 restrictions.  Dublin Bus can take a max 17 passengers per bus.

A number of parents were left frustrated as their kids couldn't get buses this morning, leaving some of them upset or late for school.

However, it's not just commuters who are finding it difficult. We spoke to a number of bus drivers who are not happy about driving by people.

Listen back now:

Public transport is running for essential workers and essential purposes. If you can, please avoid travelling at peak times to leave space for those who need it most. pic.twitter.com/AR8WtVvbzv
