As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally including decisions in relation to BusConnects changes and also for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of bus stops and shelters.

I have, therefore, forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to the possible restoration of the 66a bus service to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
