Excerpt: Dublin Bus (Irish: ) is a public transport operator in Ireland. It operates an extensive bus network of 172 radial, cross-city and peripheral routes and 24 night routes in the city of Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area. The company, established in 1987, is a subsidiary of Córas Iompair Éireann which is owned by the Irish Government. Dublin Bus operates the vast majority of bus services in Dublin but in recent years an increasing number of other bus companies have received licences to operate in Dublin from the Department of Transport. Dublin Bus is the main transport provider in the Greater Dublin Area and carries 70% of all peak time public transport users into Dublin. The network carries on average 500,000 customers a day and 150 million a year. The company currently employs around 3,729 full-time staff members and utilises a fleet of 1,182 buses. Since the opening of the Luas tram system, Dublin Bus has lost approximately 30% of its passengers to the Tallaght (Red Line) and Sandyford (Green Line) Luas routes to the city centre. The planned Dublin Metro may also cause losses for the company. Dublin Bus had recently announced that it was to withdraw 120 buses. Under a ruling from LRC (Labour Relations Commission), it can proceed with plans to withdraw the 120 buses. But the 160 drivers are allowed to stay on with the company.
