Ms Anne Graham:

We agree with all of the points the Deputy has raised. We recognise there is a dearth of infrastructure throughout the country. There are 10,000 bus stops around the country and only a small percentage of those have the right bus stop and information, as well as a proper standing area and the potential to put a shelter there. We have a huge amount of work to do. We are working with the local authorities and asking them to come forward with plans and designs so we can fund them and put them in place. Generally, what we have tried to do, certainly with Local Link, is get the service up and running, because it is important to get the service going and then to follow with the infrastructure very quickly after that, where possible. Nonetheless, we recognise we have a huge amount of work to do in that space.
