Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
BusConnects: Discussion
Mr. Tim Gaston:
We are trying to avoid having to come back and carry out changes on this scale again. During this network redevelopment, we are putting processes in place to make reviewing the network's performance part of business as usual. The new contract we are signing with Dublin Bus next month and the contract we already have with Go-Ahead Ireland include route-by-route analysis. We will be looking at every route every month to see how it performs in terms of reliability, punctuality, passenger numbers, revenue, old people and so on. If performance changes, we will change the route. This will become a rolling process, rather than one where nothing is done for several years and then massive change is needed.
