I am at a loss to know why the NTA does not have the figures for the capacity increase because at a previous meeting on the commercial routes, we were informed, and I did not keep all the figures, that while passenger usage increased on the Cork-Dublin corridor by 61%, capacity went up by 111%. Is that justifiable?
What plans does the NTA have to introduce double decker commuter buses to Cork for services such as the 245? Many passengers are left waiting for a relief bus. A double decker bus would alleviate that problem.
