CE of Transport Authority on diminished bus services

Your editor was at a panel discussion event yesterday on 'The Future of Multi-modal Mobility', which is essentially looking at the most efficient ways of getting around, writes Brian Byrne.

As it happened, I got the opportunity to ask a question from the floor of one of the panellists, Anne Graham, chief executive of the National Transport Authority (in the red jacket above). I asked her about the reduced national bus services for small towns like Kilcullen, which have effectively been 'abandoned'. I hadn't expected or planned for the opportunity, so my figures were 'top of the head', but the situation isn't.

I got the stock answer, and there was no chance of a follow-up question by which I could have addressed some of her points. But you can hear the question and answer here.

Maybe we can do something about her last few words?
