I See Dead People Anthony McIntyre Every Saturday myself and my baby daughter Fírinne 'do the buses'. We go out, she in a pram or in harness, and walk down to the Falls Road to catch a bus into town. From there we head off to wherever our fancy takes us. She loves being on buses, and while public transport in Belfast compares poorly against a metropolis like Amsterdam, the city is small enough to make the journeys involved relatively short. That is until some group, as on Friday, decide otherwise and ensure through bomb scares that we should sit on buses for hours as part of their liberation struggle against the imperialist commuters of Belfast.
