Yes, thank you.

Thank you. So, are we are calculating through our next consumer survey. Given the almost unreasonably high prices that people are paying today, is the 2023 recalculation going to then create the foundation for our Consumer Price Index within the next 10 years?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My first question to the Minister of Transport: There was mention of the legislation to lay the founda-tion for fare digitisation. I am just curious if the public should anticipate any fare increases as a part of that new digitisation.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My second question for the Minis ter is: I am just wondering how the new bus schedule is going. I know that it began under MP De Silva and I’m just curious how the public bus schedule is progressing.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m not sure if this is already in the public domain or not, but I am just curious whether the public transport has calculated anticipated savings for the new electric buses —any savings calculated for fuel costs and maintenance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. And good morning, Minister. I have a few questions. I would like to begin with a reference that was made in the Statement about there not being enough public service vehicles after 5:00 pm Sunday, public holidays, et cetera.
