Mr. Gary Owens:

I have been working with Mr. Coyne. There is only so much I can see until I get approved. I found him fair, open and transparent. We are working together and have worked together on that. The Senator would be surprised if we did not. The Senator's point is solid. If we are looking for 24-hour bus lanes, we need to have a service to go with them. That comes back to the NTA's overall strategy. We consult it all the time. Part of the strategy is to provide a 24-hour service. We have already started that and it has been successful. The challenge that there is no point in having 24-hour bus lanes if we do not have the service is valid.
