A number of TDs have raised examples of the impact that cancelled and delayed bus services are having on customers, with some people receiving formal warnings from their employers for being late and others having to pay additional creche fees
DUBLIN BUS AND Go-Ahead bus has today apologised for a deterioration in their their Real-Time Passenger Information systems and cancelled buses in recent months.
Go-Ahead said it takes four weeks to train a driver before a test, which is down from six weeks thanks to the Road Safety Authority, though the bus operator said there are a number of other issues in relation to paper work that is holding up recruitment. He said this would be a service connected with the BusConnects A and D Spine which he had had hoped would be running this year.Unfortunately, this is not going to be achievable as they are already rolling back on phase five “entirely because of driver issues”, he said, which will have a knock-on impact on other phases for next year.
“The inaccuracy of the data on the on-street displays in recent months was as a result of the higher than normal cancellation of services due to lack of drivers as well as a technical fault,” Anne Graham, the Chief Executive Officer of the NTA, said today.Graham added that improvements made to the system will reduce the presence of “ghost buses” on the RTPI system whenever a driver is unavailable.
Another constituent had to pay an additional fee to the creche she uses as she was late to pick up her child.
