Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
258. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport the number of bus users on each individual bus route in Galway city and county in each of the years 2019 to 2023 and to date in 2024, in tabular form. [1265/24]
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 statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
The query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for the NTA in conjunction with the relevant bus operators. Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
