KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:11):</by>  I want to echo the sentiments of the Premier here: we are seeking a massive improvement to public transport here in South Australia, and 220,000 South Australians now are going to get access to better services. That is a fantastic step forward, one that we are proud of and one that we are out to consultation on at the moment because this is a complex network. Unfortunately, because of the state of the information system that we were left, with the way we collect information we know where people get on these services, but we don't know where people get off.</text>
