Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Challenges Facing the Bus and Coach Industry: Discussion

Mr. J.J. Kavanagh:

The new 139 timetable was introduced on 1 April. It doubled the frequency from two-hourly to hourly. With the 139, we have a mobile app where anybody can track the vehicle on any of our services throughout the country through our ticketing system. Therefore, you can pinpoint exactly when the vehicle will arrive, and if it is going to be delayed or anything. Unfortunately, with the ticketing system we have to use with the NTA, that does not apply. However, I have not heard any issues with reliability or service levels. From what I know, we operate 100% of our services, which are from 6 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week.
