Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 May 2017
295. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the expected increase in bus passengers in Dublin for each of the next five years in view of a growth in population and increasing economic activity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23895/17]
View answerAs the Deputy is probably aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) maintains a number of regional transport models to support its transport planning remit. The models are strategic multi-modal, network based transport models and include all the main surface modes of travel (including travel by car, bus, rail, Luas, heavy goods vehicles, walking and cycling).
As the issue raised is a matter for the NTA, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to it for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
