Dublin Bus tickets

are supposed to save you money, aren’t they? And yet to buy a monthly ticket for the calendar month of March will cost me €98.00 as it would every month, yet to pay bus fare into and out of town once a day will amount to €96.80?

New government watchdog

The Granny spotted this in last week’s Irish Daily Mail.
