Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Bus stop locations are determined following the analysis of Myway data, the impact of services and safe access. Data and criteria includes MyWay data, impact on services, potential all day patronage and safe access to bus stops for passengers.
(2) No, not all stops require a partner, for example loop services. There is no defined measurement for partner stops.
(3) No. A safety review undertaken by TCCS found that a corresponding stop for Callum Street after Hindmarsh Drive was unsafe to install due to the potential passenger safety impacts, including lack of pedestrian crossings and buses stopping in a busy traffic area.
(4) This information is not readily available and the administrative effort to produce this data will require the deployment of staff resources from other activities and will therefore not be undertaken at this time.
(5) None to date. Stops will be changed as required through network reconfiguration and integration.
(6) This information is not readily available and the administrative effort to produce this data will require the deployment of staff resources from other activities and will therefore not be undertaken at this time.
(7) The following bus stops have been removed from regular service due to Light Rail Stage 1:
• 4751: Flemington Rd Exhibition Park;
• 4752: Flemington Rd opp Exhibition Park;
• 4927: Flemington Rd before Exhibition Park; and
• 4928: Flemington Rd after Randwick Rd.
These stops are unserviceable due to works underway. EPIC is serviced through traffic control arrangements for special events.
Further stop changes will be informed by the final network design to be implemented in mid-2018.
