Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Rural Bus Transport: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. David Conway:

We have gone through a detailed review with the National Transport Authority to determine the levels of accessibility in the commercial fleet. The data is all there now and certain proposals are being drawn up to ensure that the commercial fleet becomes more accessible. It is very important to point out that all of the accessibility that is there in the public transport fleet at the moment is publicly funded. Commercial operators are not publicly funded. To make our fleets more accessible, it will be important that funding schemes are put in place to assist us.
