I thank Mr. Creegan for that. With regard to any research the NTA has carried out on fare incentivisation - in other words, usage incentivisation - the Luas was mentioned with regard to there not being a change in demand for the use of that service when there were changes in the pricing structure. The Luas is a little bit like the railway lines. It is a fixed service in a fixed location and it does not move. Therefore there is a fixed demand. Buses, on the other hand, are everywhere and they are a different thing. Has any research been done in any other jurisdictions that have used fare structures to incentivise passenger usage?
