Labour vows €1 flat fare on Dublin Bus

LABOUR has promised to introduce a flat fare of €1 for passengers using Dublin Bus services if returned to power.

The party also says it would increase the company’s fleet by 500 buses to increase capacity. The goal is to encourage more people to use public transport.

The bus issue was the focus of Labour’s press agenda yesterday. Speaking on a bus temporarily acquired for the event, party leader Pat Rabbitte said the Dublin road network had been in ‘‘paralysis’’ since 2001.
