Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Stephen Kent:

Some of them have just started. A number have been committed to. There are about 15 in play at the moment. We have regular quarterly sessions with the Department. Everybody is feeding back and we are all learning. It is sometimes not simple because the bus stop infrastructure is not there when children have to congregate. We must ensure the ticketing machines are provided and in place. There is a lot coming out of the pilots. Everyone has one eye on them. The Department of education is committed to a scheme that plans to expand to include an extra 100,000 kids by 2030.
