Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority

Mr. Jeremy Ryan:

I can answer the first bit in relation to accessibility for visually-impaired people boarding buses. We have tested apps on this. Something we are also looking at doing in our new contracts that are coming up for renewal with Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann, and we might role out to other contracts as well for bus, is that if there is somebody who is visually impaired at a stop or obviously visually impaired waiting at a stop, a bus pulls up regardless of whether the person signals for the bus to stop and ask the person if he or she wishes to board the service and tell the person what service it is to make sure that he or she can board if he or she needs to.
