An example of how cherry picking doesn’t tell the real story

The letter below appears in the

Weekend edition of The Irish Times:

Out of service

Sir, – Has anyone else noticed that the most frequent bus route in Dublin city centre at present is “Sorry not in Service”. – Yours, etc,

JOAN CHERRY,

Donnycarney,

Dublin 9.

It’s not so. There is an equal number of buses ‘Entering Service’

I am being factious.

As a regular bus user in the capital, it’s accurate and fair to say that the bus service that we currently have in the capital is the best in 0ver 70 years.

Seldom does one see a broken down bus and the buses are clean and generally on time

There have never been as many buses on as many routes in the capital as there are today, and that’s fact.

Maybe both Dublin Bus and Go Ahead are far more forthcoming with information today than they were in the past.

Maybe the name of the letter writer tells the real story.
