Well, my message is this: we have intervened, because of what the Member calls a fiasco with the Cardiff bus station and, in years to come, people across Cardiff—across the whole of Cardiff—will see improvements in public transport services, not just in terms of what runs on rail lines, but also in terms of bus services through reforms to local bus services and through legislation that we'll be introducing in this term. It's absolutely essential, as I said to Andrew R.T. Davies, that people have the opportunity to get out of their private cars and onto public transport—safe, reliable public transport of the highest quality. We're going to be delivering that as well as part of the metro, and the new rail franchise, which will now be agreed and delivered from this October onward.
