Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-24281 by Fiona Hyslop on 31 January 2024, whether it will directly address the issue raised in the question regarding whether it has conducted any analysis on whether its proposed increase in rail fares for 2024-25 could potentially lead to an increase in road traffic numbers in the Highlands and Islands region, and for what reason it did not provide this information in its answer.
Answer
The Scottish Government has not conducted any region specific analysis, however we do not expect a significant increase in traffic numbers in any area.
