As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Funding was secured for the continuation of the 20% average fare reduction on PSO services, the Young Adult Card, the 90-minute far and the continued roll-out of new services (BusConnects, Connecting Ireland, New Town Services, service enhancements).
The NTA transport planning team are currently finalising decisions regarding the best utilisation of these funds, and the timing and prioritisation of the roll-out of services. As such, it is not possible at this stage to give a breakdown of how the funds will be split across all new services.
