Transport | The extent to which efficacy and convenience of the revised bus routes in the Dublin/greater Dublin area continue to be monitored

To ask the Minister for Transport the extent to which efficacy and convenience of the revised bus routes in Dublin and the greater Dublin area continue to be monitored; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the monitoring of those services.

In light of the Authority’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy’s question in relation to the monitoring of revised bus routes in the Dublin and Great Dublin area,  for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
