Dublin Bus has been deducted €8 million from their budget because of service and punctuality issues from last year.
Transport Minister Eamon Ryan told the Dail the deductions were applied sue to issues throughout 2022. He said €8m and €2.4m were taken from the contacts of Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland, respectively.
The Green Party leader said the deductions were "commensurate with a drop-off in the quality of service provided". There have been numerous reports of "ghost" bus services disappearing from real-time displays.
