May I ask a supplementary question on that? A particular type of bus is obviously required for those rapid routes. Has the NTA or TII flagged to Dublin Bus that the NTA will provide funding for the purchase of those specialised buses - they are essentially trams on rubber wheels - to serve those rapid routes? Has Dublin Bus been given a timeline as to when they might be supplied for the first such route to come into operation?
