Interesting that AMC get positive feedback there, as I was about to reply to the original post to say that I think a lot of the problem is the fact that public transport in the main is not privatised. I would glady pay more for my train ticket every month if I could rely on the service. As it is now my arrival each day varies by anything up to an hour. I am totally unreliable to my employer if he wanted a morning meeting, not to mention the stress it causes me!
Really - I know they usedn't be great - but they have improved over the year.is now my arrival each day varies by anything up to an hour. I am totally unreliable to my employer if he wanted a morning meeting, not to mention the stress it causes me!

I get the 7 am - 7.15 bus and maybe once or twice has there been an issue.
Yes when you leave at peak there are issues - but this is down to city traffic...I have been using the bus for the past year and a half and I am always early.
The bus going in town in teh evening can be irregular - but I will always get the 4.20 bus home. And if I have to I log on from home...
To the other poster, is that true what you are implying, that privatisation hasn't worked in the UK?
Probably not that we are doing anything wrong as such, but Germany and Japan have far higher concentrations of population in our urban areas than we will ever have, especially now as the Dublin commuter belt now stretches as far as Gorey and the same pattern of sprawl is evident in Cork, Galway and elsewhere.How does it work in places like Germany or Japan etc? They seem to have reliable public transport. What are they doing right that we are doing wrong?

I think this is pretty much common knowledge.
West bound there is an AMC bus that takes 20 minutes to get to the city centre that leaves from park west (am working there) see [broken link removed]

Obiviously not! I don't use the system in the UK so wouldn't know. Shame to hear it though.
