Public transport reliability
Réada Cronin said bus failures are leaving commuters and students stranded and asked for the Government’s plan to improve public transport reliability.
I want to raise public transport. My constituents have been stranded on the side of the road because buses were late, did not turn up or rolled past because they are full. Students at Maynooth University have been unable to get to their lectures in time. Young people appeared before the climate committee last Friday from all across the country. All spoke about public transport in their area. I asked them if they intended to get a car and all said they did not but would need the public transport system to run. What is the Government's plan? People are waiting.
