It will be their task to set standards regarding nuisances caused by railways. Currently, there are no standards, and they will be able to make decisions regarding complaints from the public. Previously, the Transportation Agency only played a role in consultations or negotiations, whereas now, it will have to assume serious responsibilities. Moreover, this is what we want. We hope that it will be effective and that we will not have to wait for another year or two before getting a new budget to make the agency functional.
