The maintenance of shelters is down to Dublin Bus. The placement of shelters is a planning issue. The roads section in the local authority would be involved in that. It is about making sure everybody is looking at this issue, not only in terms of sight lines and where the bus driver can pull in and pull away safely but looking at it fully from an aerial perspective and asking where are the safe walking routes to the bus stop and where can people feel comfortable walking.

We must use the landscaping and lighting in that general area to make it attractive for people to use the bus.
