In 2021, all revenue generated by bus advertising was taken over by the NTA. Dublin Bus raised approximately €1.6 million in advertising revenue in 2020. I presume this figure will not differ hugely, given only so much advertising space is available. A division within CIÉ manages the contract on behalf of the NTA. It is doing the work, but the money is being taken by the NTA. It seems to be a very clumsy arrangement.
Does it do exactly the same in relation to Go-Ahead advertising or any other organisation. To be honest, I have never had as many complaints as I have had since the National Transport Authority, NTA, has taken over responsibility for bus services. It is quite chaotic.
