Challenges Facing the Bus and Coach Industry: Discussion
Mr. Ciar?n Rogan:
There previously had been a direct link. What has happened is that under BusConnects' basic principle - it is an NTA project, and its final call - there is much more of a reliance on interchange. A lot of capacity is being added on the core routes. For example, on the C3 and the C4, which we operate, capacity was increased in October of last year. With the increased capacity and frequency on core routes, the interchange possibilities become much more practical. That is where the emphasis is at the moment. I cannot see a direct link out to Confey coming in the near future. If anything, the emphasis at the moment is to make sure that we have sufficient capacity on not just C3 and C4 but also C1 and C2. That is where the resources are going at the moment.
