Madam, - Perhaps the press officers of CIÉ, DTO or Dublin Bus would care to explain why, yesterday, on "car free day", no bus left Swords for Dublin city between 6.10 and 7.26 pm. It appears to me that there were no services as scheduled for the 41 (18.05 and 18.30) and the 41A (18.45).
I witnessed a large build-up of fellow travellers who, having less stamina than myself, simply gave up and took taxis, walked or went to the pub! In this context is it not better to call it "no car, no alternative day"? - Yours, etc.,
