Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour)

I will mention a statistic brought to my attention recently by Dublin Bus and the National Transport Authority. The changes that have taken place with regard to the network and many of the routes have seen a significant increase in passenger numbers. There may be issues in some areas, but in others we have seen increases in passenger numbers. We will use every avenue we can to try and get more people to use the Dublin bus service because it is one of the most beneficial and efficient ways to travel.
