Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Region: Discussion
Ms Anne Graham:
We will know because there is, I suppose, an experiment happening now where we are seeing a 20% reduction on all fares and a significant reduction in terms of young adult fares – a 50% reduction off the adult fare being introduced this weekend. That will show whether people respond to those kinds of significant fare reductions, so we will be able to assess in general terms whether public transport customers or non-public transport customers will respond and use public transport based on that level of fare reduction. That information can be used to see what the impact could be if we extended the commuter zone boundary further.
