Not to worry. The problem was you used [\QUOTE] instead of [/quote].

Fatima-James's Street (bypassing James's stop)-Thomas Street-Dame Street, which is roughly parallel, but a few hundred metres south.

People looking for directions, have difficulty with getting tickets or have a problem with something.

95 per cent is obviously a high figure but 1 in 20 not paying still means a massive loss. I frequently see people stopping themselves from boarding a luas on account of seeing the inspectors!

Oh, they do better than 95% - there is a performance target to hit, which if they don't reach, the operator starts paying for.
