Public Transport

Perhaps to Worthing, who knows? They can of course get a train to Worthing, changing at Brighton. There is a good service. How will the Minister facilitate such journeys? How are they going to happen? Who is going to drive the process whereby somebody says at a train station, ““I want to get off at this particular bus stop,”” and they receive a ticket? It is our ultimate goal. I suggest to her that the Government must lead that process, and that it requires the roll-out of smartcard technology and readers on buses, and the availability of a type of Oyster card throughout the country, not just in London. Why should London get the benefit of a good system when it is denied to the rest of the country?
