Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Rural Bus Transport: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Allen Parker:
On the 321, which is the PSO service, as Mr. Kent said, with the college returning, we are seeing some demand challenges. We are reviewing those with the NTA and the NTA team with regard to seeing if it is going to continue and if we need to talk to the NTA about additional coaches and auxiliaries to support the demand. That is something we can come back on. We have seen over the past week that it has quietened off on a number of routes. That peak has happened, and people have then found their timetable and things have levelled off. There are a couple of routes we still need to talk about, but it then comes back to a discussion with the NTA and of funding that and the resources to do it. We are in that process with it.
