It appears that part of the reasoning behind Dublin Bus’s changes is their desire to compete with the Dart for passengers. Recently a delegation from Dublin Bus told a Fingal County Council meeting that “We’re a bus company and it is our intention to bring people to the city by bus not by train.” The decision to stop running the 31B service to/from Howth Dart Station is a reflection of this [...] Local demands for feeder bus services are being consciously resisted by Dublin Bus.

Its exactly this type of flexibility that public transport needs!:rolleyes:

I don't think privatisation is the answer but certainly outsourcing of (underperforming) management might help.
