Single-driver oversight on double-deck buses

Summary

McCartan argued that one driver cannot safely monitor passengers upstairs while driving. Woods undertook to convey his views to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann.

Seán Treacy An Ceann Comhairle Independent

The matter of a one man bus is a very definite matter worthy of a separate question.

Comment on this

I am happy about the one man. My difficulty is how one man, or woman for that matter, can be expected to look after upstairs while simultaneously driving the vehicle.

Comment on this

I will certainly convey the Deputy's views to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann. My understanding is that the ticketing system would represent an effort to remove the cash collection requirement.
