Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
130. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Transport his views on bus companies charging travel pass holders who do not have access to the Internet an additional fee of €3 to manually book a bus ticket; if his attention has been drawn to the practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35499/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operation of public transport services.
I understand that the Deputy's question regarding fees being charged to travel pass holders who do not have access to the internet an additional fee of €3 to manually book a bus ticket is in relation to a commercially operated bus service. As such, any queries in relation to the company's booking practices should be directed to the operator.
