Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority

Ms Anne Graham:

I am interested to hear about that particular situation, because a number of years ago we sought information on instances like that where we could do pilots to trial situations where a return journey of school transport could serve a Local Link-type service.

We found it difficult to find locations. We did several pilots. One in Waterford was particularly successful and it is now a fully established Local Link service. This is certainly something we can look at because we found it difficult to find locations where the return journey would be beneficial. The local school is usually not located where people would be returning from. If the Deputy will give me that information, we will certainly look at it in terms of planning.
