August 2008 – Extra Bus Services required says Brady

Deputy Aine Brady has pressed Dublin Bus to apply for a licence to replace the services, which were previously provided by Circleline, and expand their services to Celbridge.

'Residents living adjacent to Wolstan Haven road currently have no Dublin Bus service, following circleline's decision to cease the service. All current Dublin Bus services run through the  main street of Celbridge. ' stated Deputy Brady.

'Bus Commuters ultimately require a regular and frequent service within walking distance from their homes or park and ride facilities. Many Celbridge residents have contacted me requesting an increased service to Celbridge and I have strongly impressed upon Dublin Bus at my meeting with them last Monday to provide such services.'

'Commuters have complained about Buses been at maximum capacity during peak time departures, even though we are in Holiday times. Once the schools are back and the holiday period is at an end, extra people will use the Buses and we must be prepared for further increased numbers requiring a Bus Service.'

'At a time when the Oireachtas Transport Committee recently launched its report  on developing an efficient Bus Network, which highlighted the importance of 'Marketing' the Bus as an efficient mode of Transport, it is important that Dublin Bus responds to the challenge of providing the required services, given the demand that is now there for the Bus in Celbridge.' concluded Deputy Brady.
