- **Public Transport Efficiency**: The expansion and improvement of public transport services have reduced traffic congestion, supported economic growth, and enhanced land use and property values around transport hubs[3].
- **Social Inclusion**: Bus Éireann's services, especially the expanded school transport and community initiatives, have improved social cohesion, reduced social exclusion, and supported marginalized communities[1][3].
- **Economic Benefits**: The investment in public transport has positive effects on job creation, business output, GDP, and tax returns, while also supporting local economies and community development[3].
- **Community Engagement**: The company's involvement in various community programs, such as the Open Doors Initiative, Pride parades, and collaborations with local authorities, demonstrates a strong commitment to community well-being[1].
