A flat 20p bus fare should be introduced in Dublin to see if it would help encourage a switch to public transport, the Labour Party has suggested. The party's spokeswoman on Dublin, Ms Eithne Fitzgerald, said such "experiments" were justified given the capital's traffic problems.
Publishing a policy document for Dublin, she also called for a doubling of the city's bus fleet and the compulsory purchase of a land bank of industrial and derelict sites for mixed redevelopment with a minimum social housing content of 20 per cent.
