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 operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts. In addition, the NTA also has responsibility for the collection and publication of statistics relating to public transport.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the estimated total passenger revenue per month received across all modes and each individual mode of transport, to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
