Commuters stunned as old Dublin Bus gets side hustle in tree maintenance
Dublin commuters might have had to rub their sleepy eyes a few times this month when they saw an old open-top blue and yellow Dublin Bus with workmen on the open top deck trimming the trees around the city. Bemused commuters stopped to film the unusual sight of a gathering of hi-viz jacketed tree loppers working away trimming the overhanging branches of the city's trees, making the routes clear and safe for other buses and high-sided vehicles. Pic: Nati Torres via TikTok Footage of the unusual tree trimming crew surfaced on X (Twitter), Facebook and Instgram today prompting memories of trips on open top buses where you had to duck out of the way of overhanging tree branches on the city streets @nattittorres #TikTokDublin #OnlyInIreland #ThingsYouSeeInDublin #TreeEatingBus #DublinStreets #WeirdTikTok #CitySurprises #IrelandMoments #UnexpectedTikTok #DailyDublin #TikTokViral #TikTokEurope #Dublin2025 #TikTokIreland #DoubleDeckerBus #BusOrMonster #TikTokRandom #StreetCleanup #IrishVibes #RandomDublin #TikTokWTF #CityLifeCaptured #RealLifeTikTok #WhatDidIJustSee #ModernProblems #StreetWorkers #BusOrBeast #StrangeThings #UrbanCleanup #IrelandViews #StreetScenes #ThingsYouDontExpect #TikTokNow #CityOfContrasts #UnexpectedThings #OnlyInEurope #POVDublin #ThatWasNotARegularBus #EverydayTikTok #FoundOnTheStreets #TikTokExplained #CaughtOnCam #BizarreTikTok #EcoCleanUp #TreeMaintenance #TikTokExplora #ThisHappened #CaughtInIreland #LocalStuff #TikTokDiscover ♬ original sound – Nati Torres Meanwhile, another Dublin Bus vehicle has gone viral after people noticed what's been described as a 'cute' detail on the side of it, prompting people to remark 'It's the best thing ever.'
