Dublin Bus says new LUAS line could hamper services

Alright, I'm no fan of CIE but the whole notion of terminating in town is due in no small part to a total lack of real bus priority measures. The buses running to town and back already have incredible difficulty keeping to timetable because of congestion and a lack of priority measures, so it would get even more difficult if they extended the routes without priority measures being implemented, and it's not their respnsibility to do that-FCC, DCC, SDCC and DLRCC all have to take the blame too. Some are better than others (FCC is pretty good of late) but DCC have done diddly squat to improve the 39 'QBC'

around Manor St despite BAC repeatedly asking for a contra flow buslane or closing the street to through traffic.

Edit: beat me to it markpb!
