To return to the issue of competition for road space between bus lanes, cycle lanes, etc., a lot of that type of work is under way in parts of Dublin. I understand there are places where the road is 9 m wide and 3 m are required for the cycle lane and 3 m are required for each lane of traffic. The new buses delivered are 2.95 metres wide, which does not leave a lot of space. Has there been a full assessment in that respect? The older buses were slightly narrower but a full assessment for future-proofing is needed.
