Kieran O'Donnell: Before Deputy O'Rourke continues, Mr. Hann might conclude his point on the total numbers Dublin Bus will have by the end of 2023. He was just about to give that number before the committee suspended.

Kieran O'Donnell: I want to go back to the issue of taxis. Approximately two weeks ago I had to book a taxi through one of the taxi companies. The taxi was an hour late the following morning. I was late for my appointment. It was at a peak time between 8 a.m. and 8.30 a.m. I have made inquiries and anecdotally it appears that taxi drivers are not using the apps at particular times. My short journey was...

Kieran O'Donnell: The question is-----

Kieran O'Donnell: The question I would ask is-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is this taxi drivers or taxi cars?

Kieran O'Donnell: The question then is about the patterns. A city may have a higher SPSV rate per 1,000 of population but if they do not work at peak hours or they are being quite selective when they work we may have a system where the average in real terms might be much lower than 3.7.

Kieran O'Donnell: I use taxi drivers to go from here to Heuston Station when I am under time pressure. I always ask them whether they work at night. Nine times out of ten they no longer work at night. If I asked this question of them four years ago, most of them would have said they worked at night. Their patterns have changed. Ms Graham said the NTA wants its own passenger information system. I ask that...

Kieran O'Donnell: How many have come into the system and since when?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: We are facing into the Christmas period. Generally the view is that it will be chaotic with regard to taxi drivers. I will move on to buses next. Something is not working with regard to taxis. If taxi drivers are switching off apps and can pick up fares on the street then by definition there is a problem with the system. In most cases, the consumer relies on the app. For security...

Kieran O'Donnell: That is a separate issue again. I accept that. I ask the NTA to go back and examine the figures for the taxi industry again, particularly for those peak periods early in the morning, late at night and on the weekend. I am not saying-----

Kieran O'Donnell: I am a doubting Thomas when it comes to the figures.
