It is, to a certain extent, that Dublin Bus has in the large part. I remember being on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council at the time when Dublin Bus took the 46A out of Monkstown Farm and Stillorgan village, it made a much better passenger experience for everyone who was not trying to use Monkstown Farm or Stillorgan village. Most people were accommodated by various other routes and options, like the 4, the 63 and so on. It made the route a more efficient and predictable one because there was that bus priority pretty much the whole way from the church in Foxrock in the case of the 46A. Further out in the case of the 145 or 155, the whole way in as far as when one hits Leeson Street, one engages with a level of congestion even if there is bus priority. I know BusConnects has a solution proposed, and Ms Graham might let us know when the diverting of car traffic away from the end of Leeson Street towards St. Stephen's Green might be happening.

Is Dublin Bus's bigger ask is to have 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. or something similar, for reliable routes during the day?
