Madam, - Considering that the owners of private cars, taxis and other public service vehicles are obliged, under law, to keep their passengers strapped in at all times or run the risk of incurring a fine and penalty points, it seems a huge discrepancy that passengers on Dublin Bus are not required to wear a seat belt and may even stand up while the vehicle is moving. - Yours, etc.,
GERARD HALLY, Mobhi Road, Glasnevin, Dublin 9.
