Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2023
120. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Transport the number of times the weekly fares cap has been applied to Leap card customers in 2023; and the number of times the monthly fares cap has been applied to Leap card customers in 2023, across all cities where Leap is in operation. [40223/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services, provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts. In addition, I would like to advise that the NTA has responsibility for the collection and publication of statistics relating to public transport.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in these areas, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to Leap card customers, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
