Madam, - It may console Dr Michael Casey (Opinion, July 9th) to know that one section of Dublin Bus's timetable is apparently inviolate. The last buses still leave O'Connell Street at 11.30pm, just as their predecessors, William Martin Murphy's trams, did in the 1890s.
At weekends, a more expensive service on the main routes is available from 12.30pm. approximately, but otherwise the city is without a public bus service until the next morning.
Perhaps, in decades to come, Murphy's timetable may become obsolete. I wonder if the unions would agree? - Yours, etc,
DENIS FAHEY,
