Well it costs money to run the service so the theory would probably have to do with there not being sufficient numbers of passengers to justify running such a service. It is a bit of a joke though - it forces people to use cars and taxis.

Because Bus Eireann is a state subsidized company and do not have to make a profit because us, the public will always be there to bail them out,removeing any incentive to be competive.

It's like as if Bus Eireann is there for the employees only and not really for the public.

Anyway, I've heard that prices will be going up shortly.
