Committee on Transport
National Transport Authority: Engagement
2:00 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
I will give a longer "No" answer. The answer is "No" but it is slightly longer. If we bring the fares back to what they were beforehand, we lose the whole rationale for the revised system. The revised system is trying to put in an equitable system whereby people who travel similar distances pay the same price. As soon as we change it for certain areas, we are back to the old system whereby passengers in one area pay a certain amount for a journey and those in other areas pay more or less. That seems the wrong way to go.
