    No union objection to such a move? Pretty much the same exact as what their trying with Bus Eireann and Expressway or have I missed something? Must be trying to distinguish NTA and non-NTA services.

    I thought the NTA wanted to harmonise the branding?

    This isn't an NTA service, it's a commercial one.

    This is just a rebranding of the city tours operated as a private commercial service by Dublin Bus which will include airport connections as well as 72hour travel on Dublin bus services. It works out very well for tourists, the Hop on-Hop off bus tours cost €22 for 24 hours but the full three day ticket covers the green tour buses plus the Airlink and also all Dublin Bus public service buses and all for €33 for 72hours!

    No, their Airlink service is totally separate to their tour bus company and the public service routes serviced by their main business.
