Ms Anne Graham:

We do not have them in place at the moment but that is why the transport strategy is there and we have put in place the implementation plan. The investment from the national development plan will address this by putting in place the infrastructure that is sufficient to meet the demand for travel by sustainable modes over the next ten and 20 years. It is not there at the moment. The NTA has also indicated that a lot of our rail infrastructure in particular is congested. We need to develop, implement and put in place a new rail fleet to provide more services and more capacity on our rail infrastructure, and move towards electrification in line with the DART expansion programme to improve journey speeds. Similarly, in terms of the congestion in our cities, we must put in place the bus infrastructure that will reduce journey times for our travelling commuters.
