Hi Robbie. as you have already heard some companies don't accept them
as they have not signed up to the scheme yet. I don't know if they are
compelled to either. Just out of interest, do you know the name of the
company? There are not that many private opporaters in the Dublin area
are there?
Just on a slightly different thread, I have seen travel passes from the
north and they are much better than our ones here. They are much
smaller and fit in a wallet. I can't understand why that can't be done
here. Also, they are much stricter up there about you presenting your
pass for inspection and if ya don't have one ya have to pay. I do
believe that we are going to have a 32 county pass for all within the
next year or so.

Hi folks!
First of all appologies to the VICS list I sent this to by
mistake.
Can anyone tell me where I can read up on the legal status of
the travel pass?
Especially who is compelled to accept it and who isn't.
I have one, not the blue bus pass, but the one that's valid for
country-wide public transport.
This morning the driver of my bus to work said he could not
accept the pass and that I would have to pay him.
I have to say that it is a private bus company, but I was under
the impression that the pass covered those too.
He then said that they were not public transport. I would
dispute that, because privately owned they may be, but they still
transport members of the public. After all, anyone can use that bus. You
don't have to have a membership card to get on it. Hence in my oppinion
they provide public transport.
Please let me know if I'm wrong about this, or where I can find
legal information.
Cheers,
Robbie
