Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
I am saying all this in the context of a declared national transport policy of encouraging people to use public transport. Making that a reality will depend on the availability of high-quality public transport, which we do not have. We will have to invest much more in public transport if we want to succeed in this aim. However, even if we provide high-quality public transport to meet people's needs, there will remain a cost question in every travel decision they make.
