I always pay my bus fare, but it's getting harder and harder to justify it when I see so many just mutter about getting a ride and not paying. Transit needs to be free, there will become a tipping point where people like me will just stop paying too. #winnipeg

1974 O'Connell Street Dublin, I really only vaguely remember the buses in that colour scheme. The shot shows just how shoddy the restoration to the GPO of 1916 was, and a large gap south of it where the celebrated Metropole cinema was just demolished.
