"The members considered the following motion in the name of Councillor McEvoy.


That the council engage with the National Transport Authority on the 139 bus service between Naas, Sallins, Clane, Rathcoffey, Maynooth, Leixlip and Blanchardstown to encourage the addition of Real-Time Information Systems for improved arrival time predictions with the introduction of planned hourly services.


The motion was proposed by Councillor McEvoy and seconded by Councillor Farrelly.


A report was received from the Sustainable Transport and Traffic Management Team informing the members that the Transport Department will write to the National Transport Authority to consider the implementation of Real Time Information on the 139-bus service.


Councillor McEvoy said the 139 bus was successful and full a lot of the time. The narrative from the public, who do not use the bus service, was that the buses turn up late or did not show up at all. National Transport Authority real-time information would help build public confidence in the service. The 120 Bus Service did show up but could be delayed by traffic.


Councillor Durkan suggested the National Transport Authority be asked to add a stop on the route at Blanchardstown Hospital as a lot of residents in the locality would use the services of the Hospital.


Mr. J McGowan informed the members Mr. D Hodgins would be attending the April Municipal District Meeting and prior to that he would communicate with him in relation to the members requests.


Resolved on the proposal of Councillor McEvoy, seconded by Councillor Farrelly and agreed by the members that the report be noted."
