Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I will deal with the branding issue, Transport for Ireland. The legislation setting up the NTA required it to develop a uniform brand for public transport in an effort to integrate public transport. That is what we are doing in Transport for Ireland. Transport for Ireland is meant to be the customer-facing brand that unifies across all the transport modes. The Transport for Ireland website is the place where one gets all the details of a journey planner, fares, services and so on.

The purpose of doing some advertising on it is to start to get out that message that public transport is being integrated under the umbrella of Transport for Ireland and that will grow in the years ahead.
