- This is a game played with hoops. A boy or girl gets a hoop, and says he is a bus or a tram. Someone catches the tail of his coat, and says to him "I want to go to Dublin, or some other place while he is rolling the hoop the player runs after him holding his coat.
He is left somewhere, and the "bus" returns to take up another fare.
The game continues, and the "bus" comes and brings the passengers back to the place they started from.
