Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2023
182. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Transport for an update in relation to the accuracy of the real time tracking of Dublin Bus services, and how this is being improved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53775/23]
View answerAs 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 planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) signage.The issue raised by the Deputy regarding the accuracy of real time information provided in relation to Dublin Bus services would be a matter for both Dublin Bus and the NTA. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to both Dublin Bus and the NTA for direct response. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within ten working days.
