BUS Éireann and Dublin Bus could be forced to repay millions of euro they have received from the State if a European Commission probe launched yesterday finds the aid was illegal.

ANTI-COMPETITIVE bus regulations are favouring State companies and undermining private firms, a report said yesterday.

IN the Money & Jobs Travel feature (Irish Examiner, January 23) Cora Collins of the Coach Tourism And Transport Council suggests that Bus Éireann’s “Cork route is subsidising the Galway run” ... “or that the Government subvention is going to subvent the Galway-Dublin route”.
