There is a huge weighting of public transport subsidies towards urban areas. That is amazing because €3 million gets about the same amount as €1 million in and around Dublin. My proposal is very simple and does not upset any of the questioned routes.

There were 15,000 ordinary taxis and 1,471 wheelchair-accessible vehicles in 2017. That is a ratio of approximately 10:1. Of course, there should be some wheelchair-accessible taxis but not every vehicle needs to be wheelchair-accessible any more than every vehicle in the city is wheelchair-accessible. At the taxi rank near here some vehicles are wheelchair-accessible and some are not.
