We have spoken many times about how the NTA provides the fleet and private operators like Go Ahead are using that fleet. We have talked about a similar system for e-bikes, for example, in the city. One of the challenges we have discussed is for the NTA to be able to co-ordinate that response across the four Dublin local authorities with existing schemes in place. There would be a challenge in operating that type of scheme. That is the type of scheme where people will say there is a Dublin-wide solution and that is what a mayor might drive. Even if he or she was not solely responsible for delivering it, a mayor could drive that sort of Dublin-wide solution. Do the officials accept the existence of the four local authorities sometimes leads to more fragmented solutions?
