MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive writes to Transport for Ireland, the NTA and the Bus Connects team, requesting a formal, detailed, dedicated meeting with the elected members of this Area Committee to discuss the Bus Connects C-Spine and related services; also inviting Dublin Bus, Go Ahead, Council transport officials and members of the relevant SPC; to ask that this meeting be arranged by the end of the first week in April as by then it will be over four months since the launch of the service and there remain multiple serious issues and service deficits that require addressing, many of which need to be outlined in some detail, feedback received in return and firm commitments and timelines given regarding key improvements that need to be made, on behalf of the thousands of bus users we represent.

REPORT:

A number of questions were raised by the members in the last Motion on this matter.  These queries were put to the NTA and they have responded in the email attached to this Motion.

This Motion requests a meeting with the NTA, Dublin Bus and Go Ahead. The NTA have noted the request and have said that they will return with an answer on this in the coming days.
