English: Can I thank Nick Ramsay for his contribution and the questions that he raised? I'd agree to his last point that we can't just look in isolation at the public transport solution, but we must also recognise that the M4 itself requires interventions. And that's why, in the first round of recommendations, Lord Burns recommended a small number of what were described as 'quick wins', to try to improve the flow of traffic along the M4, and that included additional signage, for example. We wish to prioritise our road investment in maintaining the asset, which is a very considerable one across Wales, amounting to about £17 billion in value. There are challenges in terms of smart motorways. I would never rule out the development of a smart motorway, but we must learn from some of the terrible, terrible accidents that have occurred in England during the development of the early round of smart motorways. Lives have been lost as a result of that particular intervention. So, the use of digital signing, the use of live traffic information, the use of remote monitoring systems are all very well and good, but safety has to come first - the safety of the travelling public. And, so, whilst I remain very, very open to the use of advanced technology in ensuring that traffic flows smoothly, I would not wish to follow what happened in the early stages of the development of smart motorways in England, where, unfortunately, lives were lost. Electric cars, as Nick Ramsay said, could lead to similar volumes of traffic at the moment. Of course, there is advanced technology that is being researched concerning autonomous vehicles that could, in the future, in a distant time, lead to vehicles requiring potentially less space. In the first round of autonomous vehicles, it's likely that they'd need more space. But, of course, our key concern is in ensuring that through delivering the Burns recommendations we provide an alternative to reliance on the car, and that we provide an alternative that is cost-effective, and that is sustainable and that is accessible. And I think that, in terms of the report, people in and around Newport, and across south-east Wales, are pretty settled on the report as the solution to this problem that has challenged us for many decades. And, of course, Nick Ramsay is right that within Newport itself the use of bus services will be hugely important. We've already trialled the Fflecsi service, as an alternative to traditional scheduled services. The report itself outlines recommendations concerning the integration of public bus services with active travel provision, and we're keen to ensure that the work is taken forward at maximum pace, working through the delivery unit that's been established and, of course, making sure that we go on using advanced technology, as it develops and as it emerges, to improve the provision of public transport and accessibility to it.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Nick Ramsay am ei gyfraniad ac am y cwestiynau a gododd? Byddwn yn cytuno â'i sylw olaf na allwn ni ystyried yr ateb trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ar ei ben ei hun, ond rhaid i ni hefyd gydnabod bod angen ymyraethau ar yr M4 ei hun. A dyna pam, yn y gyfres gyntaf o argymhellion, yr argymhellodd yr Arglwydd Burns nifer fach o'r hyn a ddisgrifiwyd fel 'enillion cyflym', i geisio gwella llif y traffig ar hyd yr M4, ac roedd hynny'n cynnwys arwyddion ychwanegol, er enghraifft. Hoffem flaenoriaethu ein buddsoddiad mewn ffyrdd drwy gynnal yr ased, sy'n un sylweddol iawn ledled Cymru, sy'n werth tua £17 biliwn. Mae heriau o ran traffyrdd clyfar. Ni fyddwn i byth yn diystyru datblygu traffordd o'r fath, ond rhaid inni ddysgu o rai o'r damweiniau ofnadwy, ofnadwy sydd wedi digwydd yn Lloegr wrth ddatblygu'r cylch cynnar o draffyrdd clyfar. Collwyd bywydau o ganlyniad i'r ymyrraeth benodol honno. Felly, mae'r defnydd o arwyddion digidol, defnyddio gwybodaeth fyw am draffig, defnyddio systemau monitro o bell i gyd yn dda iawn, ond rhaid i ddiogelwch ddod yn gyntaf - diogelwch y cyhoedd sy'n teithio. Ac, felly, er fy mod yn parhau i fod yn agored iawn i ddefnyddio technoleg uwch i sicrhau bod traffig yn llifo'n esmwyth, ni fyddwn eisiau dilyn yr hyn a ddigwyddodd yng nghamau cynnar datblygu traffyrdd clyfar yn Lloegr, lle collwyd bywydau, yn anffodus. Gallai ceir trydan, fel y dywedodd Nick Ramsay, arwain at gyfaint tebyg o draffig ar hyn o bryd. Wrth gwrs, mae technoleg uwch sy'n destun ymchwil ynghylch cerbydau sy'n gyrru eu hunain a allai, yn y dyfodol, ymhell yn y dyfodol, arwain at gerbydau sydd angen llai o le o bosibl. Yn y gyfres gyntaf o gerbydau sy'n gyrru eu hunain mae'n debygol y byddai angen mwy o le arnyn nhw. Ond, wrth gwrs, ein prif bryder yw sicrhau, drwy gyflawni argymhellion Burns, ein bod yn cynnig dewis amgen i ddibynnu ar y car, a'n bod yn darparu dewis arall sy'n gost-effeithiol, a bod hynny'n gynaliadwy a bod hynny'n hygyrch. A chredaf, o ran yr adroddiad, fod pobl yng Nghasnewydd a'r tu allan iddi, ac ar draws y de-ddwyrain, yn eithaf sicr mai'r adroddiad yw'r ateb i'r broblem hon sydd wedi ein herio ers degawdau lawer. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae Nick Ramsay yn gywir y bydd defnyddio gwasanaethau bysiau yng Nghasnewydd ei hun yn eithriadol o bwysig. Rydym ni eisoes wedi arbrofi gyda'r gwasanaeth Fflecsi, yn hytrach na gwasanaethau traddodiadol wedi eu hamserlennu. Mae'r adroddiad ei hun yn amlinellu argymhellion sy'n ymwneud ag integreiddio gwasanaethau bysiau cyhoeddus â'r ddarpariaeth o deithio llesol, ac rydym yn awyddus i sicrhau y caiff y gwaith ei ddatblygu mor gyflym â phosib, gan weithio drwy'r uned gyflenwi sydd wedi'i sefydlu ac, wrth gwrs, sicrhau ein bod yn parhau i ddefnyddio technoleg uwch, wrth iddi ddatblygu ac wrth iddi ddod i'r amlwg, i wella'r ddarpariaeth o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a pha mor rhwydd yw ei defnyddio.
