Poll: Do you support private operators running public bus routes?

Some have warned that the move is a start to privatisation.

THE NATIONAL TRANSPORT Authority yesterday announced that British company Go-Ahead would operate 10% of the public service bus routes in Dublin.

Some have warned that the move is a start to privatisation and unions are worried it could change conditions for the worse.

We’re asking: Do you support private operators running public bus routes?
