'he hasnt thought about it too much'
i would have thought that line of questions be asked of the opposition transport cabinet minister?
seem like it was a one topic interview, about transport?
to insinuate he didnt know public transport was subsidised, was incorrect.
what he doesnt know can only be the writers, and readers guess.

other than that it seemed a thoughtful and balanced interview,
unlike the editorial that accompanies it.
