I fear this is going to go pear shaped so quickly by biting off way to much

Notice the absence of "bus routes" and "timetables" from the piece

Taking control of the delivery of project is not a good idea, only the RPA and CIE can apply for an works order so more legal hangups. Planning and route selection should be DTA but its a bit late for that

Given the RPA didn't make any headway with Dublin Bus I can't see how the DTA is going to have much better luck unless the DoT provide financial assistance to cushion the impact of fares reform and I don't think anyone can believe the DTA will have a total unrestricted authority this has been a political football long enough

As always we continue to wait to see some real action
