(3) How many weekend bus shifts end so late that the bus driver cannot work again the next morning due to compulsory break time.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Based on patronage data recorded by Transport Canberra through the MyWay ticketing system for the period from 27 May to 11 August 2019, the average daily number of public transport journeys that begin:

a. Between 4am and 8.59am is 11,386.

b. Between 9am and 4.59pm is 23,371.

c. Between 5pm and 7.59pm is 7,270.

d. Between 8pm and 9.59pm is 1,148.

e. Between 10pm and 3.59am is 463.

These figures are rounded to the nearest whole number.

(2) The proportion of bus services not delivered that are scheduled to begin:

a. From the first service to 8.59am is 0.95%.

b. Between 9am and 4.59pm is 1.79%.

c. Between 5pm and 7.59pm is 4.44%.

d. Between 8pm and 9.59pm is 7.00%.

e. Between 10pm and the last service is 11.29%.

These figures are rounded to two decimal places.

(3) Transport Canberra bus drivers are required to comply with a number of requirements relating to fatigue management under the National Heavy Vehicle Driving Regulations and Transport Canberra policies, which requires each driver has a mandatory rest break of eight-hours.

Transport Canberra ensures that those drivers who work the late shifts on the weekend have their appropriate eight-hour mandatory break prior to starting work on the following morning. There are no weekend shifts that finish so late that a driver cannot work again the following morning due to the mandatory rest break.
