Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority

1:30 pm

Mr. Jeremy Ryan:

Various cities and countries have various fare structures, and some have off-peak fares for weekends and outside of peak travel, while some do not. The point we were making was that, regarding travel patterns we have seen since Covid, the growth has primarily been outside of peak. We are getting that growth without off-peak fares. Do we need more of that growth? We would need the capacity to deal with it in first place if we were to get more of that growth. At the moment, there is not a strong case for having higher peak fares compared with off-peak fares that we can see based on our experience.
