Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2023
171. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the booking fee that is charged to customers who pre-book a seat with Bus Éireann, regardless of whether the person has a free travel pass; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7297/23]
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 matter raised in relation to the booking fee that is charged to customers who pre-book a seat with Bus Éireann, regardless of whether the person has a free travel pass is an operational matter for the company.
I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
