Transport Canberra—bus drivers
(Question No 961)
Ms Clay asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 21 October 2022:
(1) How many new drivers will Transport Canberra hire in the 2022-2023 financial year.
(2) What is the expected total number of drivers Transport Canberra would require to deliver a minimum service level of hourly weekend suburban buses.
(3) What is the current number of new bus drivers being trained yearly by Transport Canberra.
(4) What is the maximum number of new drivers that can be trained in a year under current circumstances.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Transport Canberra will continue to recruit bus drivers to meet network requirements and accommodate driver attrition. The exact number will be driven by the ongoing network changes that are under development. Transport Canberra had set a target of recruiting 60 new bus drivers between May and December in 2022, which they are on track to achieve.
(2) The number of shifts and Transport Canberra bus drivers cannot be confirmed as a bus network has not been built or scheduled for this specific scenario and service frequency. The number of drivers required is also subject to the mix of employee type between permanent part time, permanent full time and casual.
(3) The number of drivers being trained each year fluctuates depending on a number of factors but predominantly network requirements. For example, in the 2021 calendar year 61 drivers were trained. In 2022, that number is likely to be closer to 100.
(4) The current recruitment capacity would be 150 drivers in one calendar year.
