Ms Anne Graham:

We can give a lot more detail on that.

The other aspect we have to consider is punctuality. The route the Deputy referred to and some other routes do not have the level of bus priority required to ensure that a reliable journey time can be delivered. Traffic congestion impacts on reliability, especially the punctuality of services. What we have to do with our operators generally is to review the journey time of those services. For example in Cork, the journey time of the 220 service has increased as a result of traffic congestion, which has meant it has not been as reliable as it could be. We have had to put additional journey time into that service, but that did not increase the efficiency of the service. That costs €1.5 million per year, because of the level of road congestion.
