Amharc ar fhreagraThis is an operational matter for Bus Átha Cliath and not one in which I have any role.
362 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport the percentage of the Dublin Bus fleet that is disability accessible; and his plans including the timeframe for all buses to be made disability accessible. [40541/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraLow floor accessible buses currently make up over 60% of the Dublin Bus fleet. All new buses purchased by the company are low floor and wheelchair accessible and have on-board features to assist people with mobility, sensory and cognitive impairments. Dublin Bus expects that its entire fleet will be composed of accessible buses by 2012.
