Fair enough. We only have ten minutes. Let us leave aside the question of individual routes. We will not get into that level of micro detail. If one combines the individual routes, one gets a national picture. Instead of six in one village, there are 2,000 throughout the country, for argument's sake. Is the Minister giving the commitment that the level of service will still be 2,000 or more overall or is he leaving open the possibility of a reduced level of service even while maintaining connections?
