Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any assessment that has been undertaken of the cumulative annual cost of the proposed yLink changes for young people who depend on public transport to access university, further education, training or employment.

Answer:

I am advised by Translink that, due to the wide range of travel patterns and service combinations across the public transport network, an in-depth assessment of the cumulative annual cost of the proposed yLink changes, which remain under consideration, has not been undertaken. yLink card holders would continue to receive a 33% discount compared with standard adult fares.
