I thank the Minister for his answer, which is disappointing because I proposed a solution in the absence of adequate buses. The Minister said taking the bus to school or work is a good idea. There are no buses in Galway city to take people to school. That is the problem. That is why I said one of my solutions was a dedicated bus system. There are not adequate buses. The response of the National Transport Authority, NTA, to me was that for 2,000 passengers per peak hour, one bus every three minutes is needed. We do not have that.
