The stated objective for the start of the NTA régime was (a) to see the information being recorded (b) that there be no disimprovement in performance (c) to gradually see targets tightened up.

If a target is 90% and 99% is consistenly achieved, then that needss to be upped towards the 99%, assuming it is an important target.

If a target is 90% and less than 90% is consistenly achieved, then questions need to be asked why it isn't being achieved and see what can be done to achieve it.

Some targets were rediculously unabmitious - I think Dublin Bus only had to have 80% of bus stop timetables up to date and only 90% of buses had to show the destination on the front - something that is important on a train, but vital on a bus.
