Public Accounts Committee

National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011

12:30 pm

Mr. Gerry Murphy:

We could direct Dublin Bus to put on a service there or we could advertise a tender for a service there. The question, however, is whether there is money to so do. While the Network Direct project was very successful in respect of better corridor management, better frequency, better use of quality bus lanes and better integration of services, both the National Transport Authority and Dublin Bus are aware that in many areas of Dublin city, the consequence of the drop-in subsidy with regard to local services or links between the orbital towns in Dublin is that we have not been able to do what we would like to do. That has been parked a little bit. We would like to do more in that area and to reconfigure those services and links.
