Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion

Ms Dervla McKay:

Absolutely. It does not matter what the journey is if it is important to a person. However, what that means as the bus operator is that these journeys are unpredictable. We talked about this earlier while answering some of the questions we had from members. At some point as the operator, we need to put that journey right to ensure that the service itself, and the network itself overall, works for the rest of the day. If we have got that unpredictability, it makes managing our networks extremely difficult. Ultimately, what we are trying to do is make sure we run a punctual and reliable service for the passenger and it makes that difficult. That consistency of priority and enforcement of it is extremely important to us and our customers.
