The National Transport Authority (NTA) is set to spend €16m on consultants to advise on everything from fare structures to climate action plans over the next four years.

The body, which is responsible for the procurement of public transport services around the State, has said it wants to enlist the consultants for a range of services which also include developing business cases to support public and sustainable transport models, and research how transport is provided in other jurisdictions.
