BusConnects: Discussion
Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source
I will give Mr. Creegan an example of what I mean. Somebody from my office was going out to Lucan last week. The bus driver said that anyone not going to Celbridge should not get on the bus as there would be another one in few minutes. It was said that they would take up space and some passengers for Celbridge would be left waiting an hour. That is what I mean. It is the kind of thing that people see every day. There is a practical work knowledge. It is more than a paper-based exercise. Drivers have a resource that is not available to everyone. They are aware of pinch points that they encounter every day. They are a resource that should be understood and used.
