Commuters travel to work in the back of army trucks during bus strike.
Commuters describe how the ongoing bus strike has impacted on them.
In Ballymun, Dublin five army lorries were on duty out of a total of 50 lorries deployed between Dublin and Cork. As the morning went on, however, the queues grew longer and in Finglas, at one stage, there was a line over 50 yards long of commuters waiting for a lift.
