Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Rural Bus Transport: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Conor O'Donovan:
Integration with rail services is very important but there are many factors that need to be taken into account when designing a public transport route. These include frequency, efficiency of the service and serving local need, so going into work for 9 a.m. and coming home at 5.30 p.m. It is about trying to balance - I talked about balance earlier - the local need with trying to integrate it with onward connections. In some cases, it is not possible to do that but we certainly try to do so. It is one of the many issues we have to consider when we are designing routes.
