It began trending on Twitter earlier today as hundreds took to the social media website, either to offer up spare seats or to try to find alternative transport following the second day of nationwide disruption to bus services.
The strike by members of the National Bus and Rail Union continues to affect as many as 95% of Bus Eireann routes across the country.
A NBRU spokesman told Newstalk earlier today that the strike is likely to spread to Dublin Bus and Iarnród Éireann services.
Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has appealed for the union to enter into talks with the state-owned Bus Eireann.
