That is positive. There is a bit of political work going on, but what Mr. Kent has said is quite positive. If Bus Éireann could be as engaging as that with the Departments of Transport and Education it would be great because it is kind of sinful to see this perfect vehicle going 20 minutes back into town with nobody on it and plenty of people in the community who would love to be on the bus. Not every community demands a half-hourly bus service. Knowing that they can go in in the morning and come home in the afternoon is plenty for a lot of rural communities. It is more than they have ever dreamt of, so it would be great to see that.

I have another question to ask of the witnesses from Bus Éireann. The TFI timetabling app got overhauled a few months ago. A lot of people stand at bus stops and they have Google Maps open and then they flick over to TFI. There are discrepancies. I think Mr. Kent said before that there is data sharing and the two sets of information overlap, but there seems to be a lot of inaccuracies. Not every bus stop has the real-time information for passengers on when the bus arrives. If people use a bus every day, they kind of know when it is going to arrive, but the sporadic user cannot figure it out. Could Mr. Kent tell us if there are improvements happening on that front?
