GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:59): </by> I would have to respond to that by again referring to the $2 billion commitment to upgrade and rebuild our modern public transport system. It will not be only a handful of people who will benefit from this, which is all the honourable member is concerned about. This is a rebuilding and refashioning of our overall transport system. So, tens of thousands of people will benefit from this in terms of improved, more efficient and effective transport. More people will have access to faster routes, so it is not just a handful of people who will benefit from this but tens of thousands of South Australians who will benefit from the commitment that we have given.</text>
