The Chairman is right. A number of weeks ago I submitted a proposal that we call in the various stakeholders, including the NTA, the bodies that represent the taxi industry, companies such as Uber that use technology to assist in connecting people who want to travel from one point to another, the Minister and relevant officials. It is critically important that we designate at least one meeting to discuss how we can address the current deficiencies in rural transport services. I urge the Chairman to arrange such a meeting at the earliest opportunity.
