Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
190. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Transport the current status of the implementation of next generation ticketing and cashless payment under BusConnects Cork; the expected benefits of this, especially with regard to punctuality and reliability of public transport services in the city; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56752/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including integrated ticketing and BusConnects Cork.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
