Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 April 2021
42. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the high cost of monthly and yearly travel passes for bus travel in Dublin (details supplied); if he plans to reduce the costs of public transport and bus fares in Dublin specifically; the timeframe for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17658/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for regulating fares charged by public transport operators.
I have, therefore, forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
