They come from Citywest. I ask the NTA to be aware that it is probably five years since the public consultation and there have been dramatic demographic changes in the areas these are serving. Citywest and Ballycullen would be classic examples. There has been a real change in the people using them. Some people are happy to connect. Some people are enthusiastic there are now connections with the Luas green line and red line which would not have been available previously. Three S8 buses did not turn up in one hour yesterday, which is not a good start. There were other examples on Monday affecting college students going to UCD. They had made the connection but the buses did not show.
