Ms Anne Graham:

We have a number of directly awarded contracts with Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann. We have introduced competitive tendering for services previously operated by both Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann. It allows us to see how another operator operates and make a comparison. It can be down to the rates they charge, but it can also be about the way they organise their services, how they roster drivers and schedule their rosters. These are things we can now compare because we have another operator in the market.
