Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Coach Sector: Discussion
Mr. Brendan Crowley:
The general notion is while operators will take a haircut on the price you hope it ultimately encourages modal shift and more people to use public transport, so the gain for operators in the future will be more people using buses. That 70% is not set in stone. As passenger numbers rise the compensation rate will fall. The whole idea is that it is a no loss, no gain arrangement.
