Transport for Ireland has said the routes most affected by the ongoing action being taken by Dublin Bus engineering operatives in a dispute over pay are those attached to the Donnybrook garage, south of the city centre.
The most affected routes since the action began on Sunday night are the 7, 14, 15 and the E1 services.
Other impacted routes, including those from Phibsborough, are the 9 as well as the 122, 39 and C1.
Services affected by delays from the Summerhill garage include the 120, 123, 15b and the 41.
Smaller garages and other routes have been impacted to a lesser extent.
At the moment TFI says the disruption is primarily an early morning issue, although some commuters may still be incovenienced this evening.
A meeting is taking place tomorrow afternoon at Dublin Bus Head Office on O'Connell Street with transport officials from the union SIPTU.
In a statement issued on Monday, Dublin Bus asked the union to engage in meaningful negotiations to bring an end to the dispute which involves 190 operatives taking part in a work to rule in a dispute over pay. It said it had no further update to this statement today.
A spokesperson for SIPTU said it does not want to inconvenience commuters and it is hopeful a solution can be found to suspend the work to rule. However, the action will remain in place if no agreeement is reached at tomorrow's meeting.
Dublin Bus apologises for any delays caused to some customers due to the ongoing work-to-rule industrial action taken by engineering operatives. Please allow additional time when planning your journey. @TFIupdates

SIPTU said Dublin Bus was officially notified of this action two weeks ago and it had hoped to have further engagement with the company.
The action involves some buses at depots not being cleaned or refuelled, preventing them from going out on their route or causing knock-on delays to routes.
