DUBLIN’S BUSES

Dublin’s Buses written by Cyril Mac an tSaoir and the late Paddy Flanagan was published by the Transport Research Associates in 1968. It was for many years the bible for road passenger transport enthusiasts in Ireland. With the kind permission of the author, the book is being re-published as part of the celebrations of A Century of Dublin’s Buses - as it originally appeared in 1968, the only difference being that the price of the 112pp book is now €19.95 rather than 17s/6d 57 years ago !
