Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Bus Coach Sector: Discussion

Mr. Barry Lynch:

For our company, the 20% reduction was part of the issue but not the entire issue. Post pandemic, our passenger numbers increased by 50% but we could not get them any higher. The 20% fare reduction would certainly have helped that, as would all the various schemes. However, a modal transfer issue was also part of our problem. I know the Chairman is aware of a local situation in his constituency. We are in the constituency of Waterford. How many other such problems are being encountered around the country?
