Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 November 2016
437. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if there are plans to extend the Leap card, currently used by rail and DART passengers, to those travelling by bus, namely to Bus Éireann passengers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32852/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the development, operation and maintenance of the Leap Card system.
The Leap Card is available on Bus Éireann commuter services in Dublin and its surrounding counties as well as on some of its urban bus services in the regional cities of Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
