Distinct absence of transport integration

RETURNING to this litter-strewn country after a number of years’ absence brings with it the usual surprises, most of them unpleasant.

On a recent trip to Dublin, Bus Éireann in particular opened my eyes to how far Ireland has yet to progress in terms of transport integration and transport policy in general.

My first surprise was being told that a return ticket to Waterford was no longer available from Tramore, where I commenced my journey.
