MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.25

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask what is the procedure for getting a bus stop located in an area and/or a Bus shelter - who has the responsibility and what role does SDCC have ?

REPLY:

Bus operators in the first instance apply for an operating licence from the National Transport Authority and then to the relevant Local Authority Traffic Section for approval of stopping points. It is generally the case that applications to use existing bus stops /shelters are made. The authority to grant permission for use and to designate new bus stopping points rests with the Council.
