Question 148: To ask the Minister for Transport the precise details of the extent of the existing quality bus corridors in the Dublin area; the length of actual bus-priority provision in each quality bus corridor; the quality bus corridors which have been fully completed; and if he will make a statement on his policy in this area.

I refer the Deputy to the following table, compiled by the Dublin Transportation Office, DTO, from its data and from information supplied to it by the agencies responsible for quality bus network rollout, that is, the quality bus network project office and the relevant local authorities.

The DTO points out that, in the implementation of quality bus corridors, the extent of a dedicated bus priority is not the only important consideration in making the QBC effective — it can be as important to implement bus priority at the congested points on the network and to implement other traffic management techniques along the corridor to ensure reliable running times throughout.
