Core map

I think that may have been the intention from the NTA but Dublin Bus won't want to promote such maps etc when they contain services by rival operators and I suspect as long as that is the case they will want to promote their own resources, you can see why from their own point of view however the public should be able to see all their options and not just a select few.

Don't get me wrong I agree with what you are saying and wish that there was one integrated resource that put the public transport user first rather than looking after themselves, as that would be better for everyone, but I can't see companies like DB doing that as they won't want to give mention to rival companies. I'm of the belief that if taxpayers are funding these state companies then having a central, TFL style website will be the best way, however the individual companies are never going to agree to that as they have too much to lose.

It's a similar story at the airport, where last year the CIE travel information desk in T1 was re branded as a generic travel information point but it's anything but which leads to the crazy situation of people being sent through longer journeys with more changes than needed just to make sure they go through CIE services. Any airport travel information desks should be run by Tourism Ireland Sure operators should be allowed their own retail space if required, but it should be clearly marked as such instead of masquerading as something it is not.
