Thank you for joining us today.
In your presentation, you said that operating costs would be lower through better equipment use, more flexible work rules, lower maintenance costs, and lower management overhead costs. But we should not sacrifice passenger safety for profit.
I am interested in Great Britain's case where public transit was privatized, including trains and all sorts of public transport modes. But the number of accidents went up and the private infrastructure company in charge went bankrupt. The UK national audit office found that the savings from privatization were 40% less than what was anticipated. There was a permanent fare increase of 20 to 30% for public transit passengers.
Could you tell me how you will make sure that operation costs will be lower if agreements are signed with the private sector?
