As the mother of a young student who uses public transport, I can see that it is beneficial to get into the habit of using public transport. In a recent meeting that I had with Translink, it made the point that getting people into that habit at a young age will result in our having better public transport. Minister, do you agree that the British Government need to fund us fairly so that we can have good and affordable transport, good transport links and improved access to trains and buses across the North, but particularly in rural areas?
