That is welcome provided there are sufficient taxis on the roads. As somebody who favours public transport I agree it should be subsidised, although it should be combined with transport companies that operate as efficiently as possible so that money is not wasted. What percentage of Dublin Bus's revenue comes from subsidy? I would be satisfied with figures for its overall revenue from fares compared to overall running costs.
