Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Revised National Development Plan: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:

It is because the ticketing technology on the buses is well over ten years old. In some cases, it is 15 or nearly 20 years old, and those ticket machines are on a large proportion of our buses. The Leap card system is now ten years old as well. It was also not built to be able to take bank payments. A different reader is required to allow that to happen.

We do have a project to get there but we are only at the stage now that it is built into the BusConnects project and the funding is coming through. It also requires significant funding to deliver it.
