Following the establishment of the National Transport Authority  (NTA) on 1st December 2009, the implementation of public transport infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area, such as Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI), now comes under the remit of the NTA.

In the light of the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority  who will respond directly with details of the ongoing development of the RTPI system.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.

The issue raised is a matter for Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann. However, I understand from Dublin Bus that its fleet is currently 96% accessible and by mid-December will be 100% accessible. I have been advised by Bus Éireann that its City Fleet is 100% accessible. All vehicles operating on city services in Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Sligo are accessible and close to 70 per cent of total road passenger fleet is accessible.
