Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
A Vision for Public Transport: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Ray Coyne:
Fifty per cent.
The Government has a choice in terms of the public transport system we want to operate and how we want it funded. We could roll that out, but there is a cost on that. However, we would get more customers on buses. There are choices to be made. We made a choice to introduce free travel for children over a two-week period in the summer. There are obvious benefits to that but there also are costs and we need to build them into our funding model.
