223. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport if he will request that the NTA provide an explanation for the current system on certain Dublin Bus routes whereby buses are expected to align with pre-ordained timing points at each stop on their route; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that such a system essentially demands buses are driven at extremely low speeds or stop at every stop for several minutes to align with the timing required and that this is due to the fact the timing is benchmarked against expected high traffic volumes and busy passenger boarding; if his attention has also been drawn to the fact that this system designed by the NTA is not resulting in an improved public transport experience by bus users in Dublin and that the system seems to apply only to certain Dublin Bus operated routes and not to routes operated by a company (details supplied) resulting in significant fines to Dublin Bus; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
