Nope! In Ireland the driver now takes the fare and gives you your ticket. No such things as conductors here again, ever. There was a huge fuss about it years ago; mnay ex-conductors had to learn to drive just to keep their jobs.

And our old buses (and the English ones) had no doors. Open at the back. Observe.

Great for jumping on and off of, not so great it you were pushed or fell down the stairs from the top deck! Or if it was raining and there were no seats.

Sorry the picture's so big but it was the only one that showed the actual "open door spot", as it were.
