This is a key point. If a person gets a train or bus here in Dublin, we are talking €1 or €2. If a person gets a bus 30 miles in rural Ireland, he or she could pay €10 or €15 for a return ticket. It gets much more price sensitive when we get up to the bigger ones. That is why I am asking about whether the NTA has differentiated between price sensitivity and taking 10 cent or 20 cent off an urban journey and €2 off a €10 journey in a rural area.
