Does the NTA not put a proviso in contracts with private operators that their fleets must have wheelchair lifts to accommodate passengers? Some of the private operators do not have them. One operator has no bus with wheelchair access, whereas Bus Éireann has wheelchair accessibility in place. How can we allow that kind of unfair competition?
