Mr. Ciar?n Rogan:

London is a very good model where they basically increased the gap between cash and cashless very significantly. However, there is always a very small cohort of people who want to pay with cash and the way it was got rid of was to take the cash off the bus and put vending machines at the side of the road. Certainly, the more cash is taken off the bus, the quicker the speed of boarding and there are real benefits that accrue across the entire system. The project the NTA has incorporates the use of contactless bank cards and back office account-based ticketing, which is what it is referred to as. Again, it is similar to what would be the case in London. As Mr. Hann has said, we are a couple of years away from the implementation of that.
