Sir, - They say you don't miss the water till the well runs dry. Well, with no public transport in Dublin today, the well isn't going to get any drier. And I still don't miss it! I dug out my bike for the first time in ages, and made the trip into town in half the time it takes to make the same journey by bus. The absence of buses makes the city easier to negotiate safely, and I'm convinced that, with cars using the bus lanes, the traffic is moving more swiftly! Yours, etc.,
David McAuley, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
