Thank you. Before I leave line item 40100, maritime safety and security, I just got a little note here. Back when there was the training accident with the pilot boat and the Northeast Breaker Beacon was hit, I was just curious whether there was any damage to that beacon and whether that may fall under this $2,551,000 expenditure and whether …

That is on page B -210. And I would like to ask a question about line item 8467 which is motorcycles. I am just curious if the Minister can explain to me why the revenue that we are going to earn from motorcycle registration is going up by $866,000. Are we quietly increasing fees? Are there more bikes than ever …

That is on page B -123, Head 35, public transportation. I would just like to preface before I ask any direct questions. My question to public transportation is wh ether we are looking into the future, and yes, we are. We are getting electric buses and that is wonderful. But I would like to just take a slightly different slant …

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I am on page B -213. I am presently on line item 45010, bus operations. I am going to switch a little from the actual buses, and I am not exactly sure where to ask this question because I could not find it in the line item. So I am going to go out …

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am still on the same line item, 45010, bus operations. But I have moved over to page B -215 which is the employee numbers. I see that under bus operators we are inc reasing our complement of bus drivers by 14 staff members, so that the complement is 156, which seems to be the same …

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you, Minister, for that fulsome response. Yes, I do have a couple of direct questions I wouldn’t mind asking, but at this point they would be just kind of random questions. So it might be easier to kind of go back and forwards. It might just be yes or nos. But just based on …

Okay. Thank you. And t hen the paratransit buses that would be sort of more of a private entrepreneurial venture. I am just wondering the costs . . . would they stay relatively the same as the bus fare or would they verge more toward a taxi cost?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chai rman. Just getting back to the Orange Route, I had asked which ferry we would be using. Would be leasing the ferry from overseas like we did from Rhode Island in the past? Or would be using one of the ferries that we have in our fleet already? And also, what the ticket cost would …

Yes, just with regard to the airlines and the airlift. Certainly that was an inspir ational s cenario that you presented to us and it does sound as though it is exciting and has some prospect and promise. But I was just wondering what we are going to be doing this year to get those air passengers coming through our …

Thank you. This was just a question on Head 48, the overall Ministry of Transport Headquarters. I am sure I am not the only one who is a little concerned about the state of the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority [BCAA] just now and how the Government may be positioning itself to support BCAA in the event that things deteriorate further …

Thank you. Minister, I have a couple of questions and this is really for my understanding. And this has to do . . . I am coupling port dues and pilotage fees. And I am just curious, given that we have revenue generation of about [$732,000] in both areas, and in 2019 we were earning about $732,000 in port dues. …

Yes, if you don’t mind. Head 30, Marine and Ports, line item 40100 on page B -203, under maritime safety and security. I was just curious if you could tell me a little bit more about what that is exactly. And I noticed that the expenditure is $2.5- odd million, which is up 36 per cent, or $679,000. And I …
