Dublin Bus Serving the entire community

FF / GP government are using the economic crisis as a smokescreen to put the boot into public transport. While Dublin needs 300+ extra buses, the plan is to cut 100. Plans to bring a 31C to Baldoyle between 10am and 4pm to boost the degraded 32b service and an extension of the 29A service to Baldoyle now look in doubt.  So much for Green policy in government. This is a political decision made for economic reasons dictated by the transport minister. Quick to capitalise on the misfortunes of the traveling public are Fine Gael who want the axed routes to be given over to private operators. (where is that A1 private service to the Airport)

We need leadership. Not headless chickens. The Green Party in Government continue to live up to the sell out they pursued by supporting Fianna Fail while public transport and the general public suffer. We need more not less public transport and less private cars on the clogged roads of our capital city.
