Bus links to rail stations
In the current economic climate you would think that CIE could bring in the integrated and instead of having Dublin Bus/Bus Eireann compete against Irish Rail. I would like to see some of the commuter bus in off peak periods be timetabled in with the train services. For example a bus to collect passengers from densely parts of major towns instead of having people trying to get to and from train station through heavily congested streets as I have noticed . In Athlone there is a regular bus service from the Institute of technology to the Golden Island this is a good service but for them to extend it to the railway station so you would be connected to all outbound bus and rail services does not seem to be within the reach of CIE. This would be a major boost for CIE patronage and for the social and environmental and economic aspects of urban life
