AnswerView source ↗
I do not know what these people were fined for, and I do not
know the nature of the circumstances of their case, for want of a better description. I will leave that up to the experts
and the operational managers in the Public Transport Authority. That is
the appropriate way to do it. I do not think people want a politician to start
waiving fines and making that sort of
political gesture simply for their own sake. I will leave that up to the
experts to manage, as they do on all occasions.
