As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The query raised by the Deputy in relation to the number of times Dublin Bus routes were curtailed; the reasons for same, by individual bus routes and by month for 2023 is an operational matter for the company. I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to both Dublin Bus and the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
