I will move away from active travel and to the matter of buses. I will talk a little about integrated timetabling. I lived in Germany in 1999, which was, God help us, in the previous millennium. I lived in a very small village, which was about 10 km from the local railway station. Any time I got off a train, I walked out the front door and got onto a bus seamlessly. It was integrated and planned to happen. The bus timetablers had talked to the rail timetablers. I do not have a sense that, particularly Bus Éireann, Local Link and Irish Rail, are talking to one another in a way that I would like. The NTA is the linchpin in that. Will one of the representatives give me an outline of what the NTA is doing in trying to integrate those timetables?
