Sorry, but some of you are still stuck in the mentality of "specials" and planning of extra services etc. Its 2008, not 1908. Lifestyles have changed, Dublin has changed. Regular late running should be the norm. As for taxis, well a cap is on the way and I predict a lot of drivers will quit the game anyway. The streets may be flooded with taxis, but struggling to make a living from it will inevitably lead to a fall off in provision. Public transport is still stuck in the past and its sad to see that it has created a culture of acceptance with some people. As for IE turning a profit, I suggest you go back through the various transport acts. They tell the tale of why IE/CIE has morphed into the dinosaur that it is from the top to the bottom. Its perhaps one of the most confused transport companies in the world.
