Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
156. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Transport the estimated cost of removing fares for all Dublin Bus and other public city buses, clarifying if this includes recent temporary fare reductions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29529/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
