Customers have wasted no time communicating their displeasure with the lack of communication in the wake of the technical disruption.
"My luas ticket was rejected to be used on the Dublin bus, awful system that you have, and I want my money back, wrote one member of the public.
"Are you making announcements at the other stops? I had to tell someone who was visually impaired! No announcements and unable to see sign," highlighted another.
The Green Line service is operating normally.
