Have the witnesses spoken to people from the likes of Bus Éireann about the 100 new buses that are being bought? Have they been asked if 20 or 50 buses could be tried with CNG? If a haulier buys 16 trucks that use diesel instead of gas, what are the percentages? If the haulier has an extra truck going up and down the road because he stayed with diesel as opposed to using gas, unless there is an incentive that could leave a level playing field before the start, it is difficult to expect a private operator to jump into it. Does the witness agree with that?
