Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

It is important for social mobility that connectivity be looked at. I am agnostic as to whether this connectivity is achieved by means of road, rail or light rail. It is important to recognise something. I have been fortunate in my time. I actually live in the city so I can pretty much walk or cycle anywhere I want to go. I do not actually need the car. I live ten minutes from the main railway station. However, prior to living here, I lived in the country. If you wanted to get a pint of milk, it was a 40-minute round trip. There was only one bus a week. I see the issues affecting rural transport and city transport. There is a big difference between the two. Again, within the context of TII's statutory responsibilities, there is not a massive amount that we can do but I am trying to understand the broader picture as to where the future of transport may be. The TII can talk with the Department of Transport and the NTA about that.
