Title: This is how Government will beat bus unions
Post by: U Wha on June 26, 2018, 11:54:47 am

Go ahead start operating former dublin bus routes soon.
This is how they will break the Dublin Bus unions. Long game, bit by bit, private operators will operate more and more routes for  a set amount (cheaper than Dublin Bus). Similar to the way the Government own the Luas but contract Transdev to operate it on tender.

Was the beginning of the end when the NBU allowed the Rail side in to become the NBRU....and as for Siptu......well now...leave it out.

That single decker seems to have an imported reg on it. Looks like 03D12XXXX.
Can’t zoom in properly though. Maybe U Wha can on the original picture
