Right.

So...

If you look at Dublin, right, there's a big transport problem, right?

So even today, Clare, I'm staying out of my parents' house out in Ballantyre, right?

So my dilemma was, I mean, anywhere in Brussels I have to travel like six kilometres.

I'll leave myself like 30 minutes, you know?

I'm like, oh, hang on a minute.

I have an hour.

And my dad is like, you better get going.

I'm playing golf.

I'm not giving you a lift to the Lewis.

So I was like...

Oh, what would I do?

In Brussels, I'd hop on a shared bike or a shared scooter, although I don't take scooters because I'm a total scaredy cat.

But I would have hopped on a shared bike down to the Lewis, which is a 20 minute walk.

But instead, I went out and I got the bus and the 16 was great.

But it did take me I was a few minutes late in here now because it just it takes it's not fast, you know, because there's so many stops.

So the public transport works better when you have lots of different options.

And that's it's not just about environmental.

It's like that's fairness as well.
