PBP TD Welcomes Union Letter To Minister For State At The Dept Of Transport Appealing For ‘No Cash Approach’ On Public Transport

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.”
