It is still the case that 1.1 million people get €60 million for Dublin Bus. When rural transport and Bus Éireann are included, the figure is about €53 million for 3 million people. As such, €3 is spent on a Dublin person for every €1 spent on a rural person. That just includes buses, never mind trains.
