View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has the statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares charged by public transport operators.
I have therefore referred this question to the NTA. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
