Mr. Ray Coyne:

No. The NTA has started the tendering process, so we will see it being rolled out on buses in 2023 or 2024.

Regarding technological upgrades, we have undertaken those in respect of ticketing. We also have USB charging points. The main technological piece will be electrification. Ticketing and electrification will provide significant benefits for the customer. Our next aspiration is to see customers being able to put their phones on the back of their seats to watch Netflix or whatever they want on their very fast journeys home.

On cash versus cashless, we are tipping towards 90% cashless. That is great. Going cashless will be a Government decision, though. It is what we have seen happening in other jurisdictions. We might get the percentage of cash transactions down to 2% through heavily discounting cashless, but it will be a political decision. Some people do not have the money to have credit on a Leap card or might only want to make a journey twice per year. If going cashless is the aspiration, we are essentially now in the zone where the decision will need to be made.
