There's a difference between 'can' and 'want to'.

It amazes me how arrogant people can be.

In Bus Eireann's case traffic congestion costs them €millions each year (don't have actual figures to hand at this time). Traffic congestion also causes buses services to run late or even be cancelled.

Another big factor in the price rise is the continuing rising costs of wages, materials, fuel oil and insurance.

So before the next person goes ranting a how crap BE, DB, and IE are, just think a minute why the fare rises have taken place and the reasons behind it.

Actually in my experience buses are rarely late or cancelled due to traffic congestion. It could be the busiest time of day and every bus will show up, at a different time of day, the roads could be empty and drivers could simply decide to take an hour or two off (In Cork anyway, I notice in Dublin they keep closer tabs on their drivers so this is rare).
