Who wants to take that?

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
Yes, okay, thank you very much. There we are. We'll move on, then, to Joyce.

That's really interesting. Okay, yes, Bev.

So, 2030. Okay. That's a long way away.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
There we are. Good to see the four of you. Thank you for your attendance today. We'll go straight into questions, if that's okay, and I'll kick off and ask you whether bus and rail passenger numbers—. We know they remain below pre-pandemic levels. Is that…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
Welcome back to the committee. We move on to item 4 of the meeting today to continue with the evidence on bus and rail transport in Wales. We move to a panel representing the bus and community transport sector. Welcome to you all. I'll ask you all to…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Wonderful. There's so much to think about and there's so much that needs doing, but we're very grateful to you for imparting so much information to us as a committee. It's really enriching our deliberation on this. No doubt we'll be chasing you again for more…

Thank you, Janet. There we are. Janet has been muted now. Okay. Sorry, Joe.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
That's a good point, yes, absolutely. And Joe, then, finally.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you very much, David. Briefly, Sylviya, just in response to the metro, then I'll give Joe the same opportunity. Then, we will have to conclude.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Before I invite Joe and Silviya to respond, maybe, Jenny, you could ask the question that you wanted to bring up, and then we can conclude with comments from each of you then.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay. Well, I don't know if anybody wants to respond to that. It's a question to Government, to an extent.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you very much. So, we come to our last area of questioning and I'll invite Janet to lead us on this one.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay. We'll move on to Huw.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Joe wants to come in just quickly as well.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay, thank you very much. We have around three other areas that we'd like to cover, which gives us probably five minutes for each of those, so I'll allow Jenny a quick supplementary, and then you can take us on to the first of those three.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay. And Silviya, then, just to conclude on this.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you so much. Joyce, did you want to pick up on some of this area? I think we've already touched on some of it.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Yes, okay. Thank you for that. Silviya, you wanted to pick up on something.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
I'm not sure Jenny's microphone is working. She was just asking whose responsibility it is to address safety on buses for travellers.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Sorry, Silviya—sorry, Jenny wants to come in first and we'll come back to you.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you. I'm glad you repeated that. There was a lot of good stuff there, actually. Joe.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay. Silviya's picture has frozen. I'm not sure whether she can hear us—it might just be a glitch. We'll see whether that can be rectified. Are we happy to move on to the next question? Or, Joe, did you want to add something first? [Interruption.] Oh…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Okay. Who wants to respond? Silviya.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Thank you. Delyth.
