As we talking about demand, does the NTA have statistics - maybe this is for Dublin Bus or Go-Ahead Ireland - on how many times a bus has to go past a stop because it is full? Is that tracked? A bus might get to a certain place. I recall a time when I was on a bus going to the airport and I could see people waiting for a bus that was full. There is not much the driver or passengers can do about it, but it must be incredibly frustrating to be sitting at a bus stop and then the bus goes past. Is that tracked? What happens to those routes on which there are consistent supply or capacity challenges?
