CTTC, which represents private bus and coach operators in Ireland has hit the ground running in 2026, here is some of what it is working on.
Following the CTTC’s lobbying efforts, the Government has committed to drafting new legislation to reform the system, and accordingly it is included in the Government’s Spring legislative agenda. This is a significant win for the CTTC and will continue to engage with the Government to ensure input into the reforms. Also of note will be new legislation relating to the National Transport Authority. Further details below.
LPSV (Large Public Service Vehicles) Reform Bill – To ensure an effective licensing and regulatory framework for the LPSV sector.
