Madam, - Recently I visited the Bord Fáilte tourist office in St. Andrew's Street and requested a copy of a provincial bus timetable for Bus Éireann in order to facilitate me in a number of bus journeys around the country which I wish to make.
I was astounded to learn that this timetable for 2003 is still being awaited.
A funny state of affairs this with only a month or so of the tourist season left.
I also requested a map of Dublin showing the routes and numbers of the Dublin buses.
I was handed a two-page photocopy of something that had clearly been produced for the Special Olympics.
This was practically useless as it only showed the centre of the city and the colour coding which should have made a difference was lost in the black and white photocopy.
Please, please what kind of people are in charge of our transport service? - Yours etc.,
D. A. HARTE, Carrickhill, Portmarnock, Co Dublin.
