Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

On the fleet, for all our bus fleet we put a lot of effort into designing the layout that it works for everyone, and particularly for people with disabilities.

There is no use having a spacious wheelchair space if the gangway to it is very restrictive. That gets a lot of attention during the design stage. As soon as the first buses get built of each model, we arrange a consultation through the IWA with wheelchair users. If there is feedback from that suggesting modifications are required, we address it. We put a lot of effort into optimising it.
