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.

However, the NTA says it will deliver savings for the taxpayer. What do you think? While private buses are nothing new, the routes they will be operating are not generally busy and serve the Dublin suburbs.

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