Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 September 2006
61 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Transport when he intends to revise fare-zoning as operated by public sector transport companies; and the discussions he has had with these companies regarding reducing fares on certain routes. [30047/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have no function in relation to this matter. The structure of fares is an operational matter for the CIE companies.
62 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Waterford is the only city here that does not have a public bus service on Sundays and bank holidays; the discussions he has had with Bus Éireann regarding the provision of a Sunday service in Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29759/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe decision to operate public bus services on specific days of the week is an operational matter for bus operators. I understand that in the case of Bus Éireann, they are considering the introduction of such services, in the light of my announcement today on expanding the company's bus fleet.
