I join in the calls for integrated ticketing on our transport system. It is possible to travel on different services provided by different train providers in the UK. If one arrives in London by train, one can go on the underground system all on the one ticket. As it stands, we have Dublin Bus, suburban rail, DART and Luas and we will shortly have the metro. Integrated ticketing is possible and we should plan in advance. Will the Leader contact the Minister for Transport to express the concerns about the need for integrated ticketing to facilitate customers? It is possible and is not beyond the capability of what is available. It is available in a limited sense but we need to extend it to ensure it is available across the board.
