New city buses are a welcome sight

I WISH to congratulate Dublin Bus for the recent introduction of the new Volvo Environ 4.0 buses out of Ringsend and Clontarf garages.

These buses are aesthetically pleasing and much more environmentally-friendly than the older vehicles currently in service.

And while the new models hold the same number of people as the existing buses, they seem more compact.

Now I look forward to seeing the whole Dublin fleet replaced by these buses over the next few years.

My only concern is that once again routes operating out of Harristown garage, such as the 27B from Liberty Hall, will be left at the back of the queue for the new buses.

The buses on the 27B route serving Beaumont Hospital are still not fully adjusted for wheelchair and buggy/pram access.
