In my view the limited pick up points on Nitelink can be partly accounted for by the fact that they originated in the era before CCTV was on buses and thus pick-up points were broadly limited to strategic places with some level of presence/security at hand for the security of personnel and customers.
I wonder has Dublin Bus conducted a review in recent times with a view to augmenting Nitelink pick-up points, particularly in the central area. On the face of it it would seem a good idea to add a few further pick-up points. While there may well be valid ongoing concerns for not adding particular points, equally some concerns may be historic/no longer applicable.
Not sure if Nitelink falls strictly under PSO or if it is classified on a stand-alone basis as a commercial operation.
