Ms Anne Graham:

No. In terms of motorway routes and the planning of services, the Deputy must remember that the NTA was set up in late 2009. At that stage, the subsidy available for public transport services was falling, as were passenger numbers. We were in a situation where, unfortunately, we had to reduce services to meet the subsidy. We were not in a position to look towards building subsidised services to replace commercial services. That is the position we want to be in and we want to plan more effectively for situations where commercial services might be withdrawn in order that we might provide subsidised services at the same time.
