Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Transport Authority: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Peter Strachan:
I agree. To go back to the point around fares, in my experience, a modern, potentially stored-value EMV smart card contactless digital fare and ticketing solution can allow for easier differential pricing. The price will essentially be a matter for Government and not necessarily for the NTA. The vehicle by which that price differentiation can be delivered is much more flexible with a modern ticketing platform than with some of the old-fashioned systems we have currently.
