Dublin Bus are investigating an altercation between one of their drivers and a cyclist, according to reports this morning.
The news comes after the cyclist uploaded footage to YouTube which shows the bus veering into the cycle lane. The cyclist claims that the vehicle “almost” made contact with his bike.
After this, the cyclist confronts the driver who can be heard saying: “I’ll run you over. Do you wanna die? Just go in front of me, I’ll run you over, no problem”.
Dublin Bus confirmed that they are looking into the matter: “All incidents or accidents are investigated fully and if any breaches are found, appropriate action is taken internally”.
The transport company added that all of their drivers are trained “to the highest standard” and that said training “includes a strong emphasis on cyclist safety”.
The cyclist said he was “a bit shaken” by the incident” which allegedly took place on Arran Quay around 8.00am on May 28th.
