Mr. Tim Gaston:

I am sorry. We did some research on this and found that by and large price is not the biggest determinant for whether people will use public transport. It is no surprise that the determinants are whether there is a service and whether the frequency matches the sorts of travel patterns people want to have. From research we carried out recently, price is becoming less and less important. It does feature in the surveys, but it is at a very low level. We do not believe that bringing in massive further fare reductions would, in fact, bring large numbers of people onto public transport. That elasticity has largely run its course with the reductions we have seen from the Minister.
