Nothing is free - it is paid for by someones taxes somewhere.
Considering the state of the bus shelters, I can't imagine a vending machine full of cash lasting long !!One thing that Dublin Bus should do is ban cash from buses - slows down journey with people fumbling for change etc. Should have vending machines at bus stops for those wanting to buy just a single journey.
Even worse if you're not a public transport user thoWhats really annoying is that even though public transport is already heavily subsidised from taxes users still have to pay a fare.
Double taxation if you are a taxpayer and a public transport user !
Cost of public transport is so cheap nowdays that I dont think its a factor in people not using it. Cost for most tickets is less than €10 per week which is deducted from wages (assuming most regular users have taxsaver tickets). Its as close you can get to being "free" as commuter never actually puts his/her hand in pocket to buy a ticket and the amount deducted at source is so low its not noticeable.

I dont' think its cheap in comparison to Prague where incidentally I spent last weekend. A public transport ticket there costs 26 Crowns which is less than 1 euro and it will provide for seamless use of all public transport services including bus to tram and metro journeys.
As long as one disgruntled employee can stop the train service for an entire city by holding an unofficial strike .... The man in question should be sacked
...and sued for damages.
Kevin Myers tongue in cheek remark about how Michael O’ would do things if he ran the show.Is this before or after a train drives over his adam's apple (or words to that effect) (Kevin Myers...of course)

I heard that clown Kieran Allen evading the question and making a scurrolous personal attack against Kevin Myers on the Last Word yesterday. If Myers had launched such an attach the left wing media would have jumped all over it (with RTE and the Irish Times leading the charge). The fact that it was made by a loony-left agitator who writes off the wall conspiracy theory books seems to be OK.
