I thank the witnesses for their time and engagement today. I had mentioned Paris in my contribution. It is a particularly egregious example. It is probably regarded as worst in class for implementing a scooter scheme. I notice Ms Murdoch nodding in agreement. Anyone looking at the international comparisons would recommend against doing it that way. Paris allowed every operator to operate freely with nine or ten rental companies competing with each other. Every recommendation I have read was to avoid doing it like Paris. That is an opportunity for us because it is iterative learning that we should take everything Paris did and not do that. Please God the Chairman will go back to Paris soon.

I am sure he has an anniversary or something coming up. He will then see a far improved scooter regime.
