-Niamh O’Reilly, lecturer in geospatial surveying at TU Dublin, researching cycling safety in Dublin.

#BanCars "The single biggest reason by far [for no-show buses], accounting for 89 percent of these non-deductible lost kilometres, was 'abnormal congestion.' Traffic.
"When a bus gets behind schedule and because of traffic congestion, one strategy the operators use is to skip some or all of the rest of the stops on the route to get back on time."
