Seanad debates

There was some mention of quality bus corridors. Currently there are nine in operation in Dublin, covering about 100 kilometres. The news is so good I am not going to have time to deliver it all, but I am sure my colleagues will. The quality bus corridors are working. A number of statistics are important. From November 2001 to November 2002 the level of usage of the QBCs increased by 16%. As a result there was a decrease of 7% in the amount of car traffic on those routes. That is a positive move and I know the Minister is seeking to have a number of others QBCs in place by 2005. There is now a quality bus network office associated with Dublin City Council. From now on it will be spearheading the introduction of further quality bus corridors.
