Possibly and we encourage them to do so, where possible. The National Transport Authority oversees this sector, from a PSO perspective, and we urgently need to come up with options to increase capacity. Having extra capacity in 2022 is not really a solution. If people do what we are asking them to do in dealing with climate change, these problems will get much worse by 2022. Providing accessibility funding for transport operators and relevant bodies is another role undertaken by the National Transport Authority. When we refer to "accessibility", does it mean dealing with issues related to disability such as providing lifts on buses?
