Public Transport Fares
447. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if consideration has been given to introducing contactless payment methods on buses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51829/18]
View answerThe Deputy is likely aware that consideration of fares and ticketing systems forms an integral part of the BusConnects programme as provided for in the National Development Plan and which is being implemented by the National Transport Authority (NTA), in line with their statutory functions.
Noting their responsibility in relation to this matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's query to the NTA for their consideration and direct reply. Please notify my office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
