My first questions are for Mr. Coyne. He stated he hopes Dublin Bus will soon be back more than 150 million customers per year. What sort of timeline does he expect for that and what kinds of numbers is he seeing in that context? On the 90-minute fare, I understand the reduced fares have not yet been introduced but will be soon. What is his sense of the impact they will have, if that is not an unfair question?
Mr. Coyne went on to speak about the need for achieving consensus. Will he expand on that? Looking to the future, in the context of mobility as a service and demand-responsive transport, that will a departure for Dublin Bus. We are quite familiar with it in the form of Local Link and other services. How does he foresee that playing a role in a Dublin context?
