Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

BusConnects: Discussion

Mr. Tim Gaston:

On the timeline, once we get feedback from this, there will be a final iteration of the network. Given the scale of the change, I suspect that will be the network that we will then start to implement. It will take a year to arrange all of the details involved, given the scale of change that we are bringing in. All of the scheduling of vehicles and drivers, and of which depots and routes are running, will be done with Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead. We anticipate that we will roll out the first spine in early 2021. We are doing it in a phased manner, with one or two spines together. We will wait for a time to see those bed in and then will do further work. We anticipate that it will take two to two and a half years to complete the roll-out.
