Bríd Smith TD
welcomes the letter from the NBRU to the Minister for State at the Department
of Transport appealing for a “no cash approach” on public transport.
The union which
represents bus workers across Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus have pointed out to the
Minister that this move would protect workers during the Coronavirus crisis and
has already been adopted by London Transport.
The TD said:
“Frontline workers should not be put at risk and I have been calling for
free public transport since the outbreak of the pandemic. People Before Profit
fully support the union’s request.”
