The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

We're higher than the rail, the tram and all them put together.

So it speaks for itself with regards to the mode of operation which we use.

And look, you will get a little bit of what we'll say about the universities in particular.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

Most of them are on a particular bus connect spine with very, very high frequency.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

So if you do miss a bus and it's full, generally there's one four or five minutes later, which you will be able to pick up.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

So we've done a lot of work on that.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

Again, going back to what I said earlier, we do meet the NTA on a two weekly basis to look at capacity constraints across the network and where we feel it's needed and we can resource it.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

We tend to address those issues.

I drive an electric car myself, so I know the type of torque that's there.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

The interesting thing about our electric buses, we've dialed down the torque on them to be the same as the diesel bus.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

So whilst you might get a sensation that you've got instant torque, of course you do.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

But at the same time, it's actually being dialed down to be similar to what you would get on the diesel buses.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

But we wouldn't, that complaint that we've had there, we wouldn't see too often.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

And tell me about the electric bus fleet.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

How far are you in the rollout?

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

Yeah, so we have 140 electric vehicles in our fleet at the moment.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

So the last time I spoke to you, we had about 100.

The Pat Kenny Show
Billy Hann, CEO of Dublin

So we're now up to 140.
