Transport—public transport data
(Question No 2730)

Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for Transport, upon notice, on 27 September 2019:

(1) For the period June to September 2018 (inclusive), what was the daily average number of public transport journeys, by originating district, for (a) weekdays and (b) weekends, for (i) total of all passenger types, (ii) full fare passengers, (iii) concession passengers excluding students and (iv) school students.

(2) For the period June to September 2019 (inclusive), what was the daily average number of public transport journeys, by originating district, for (a) weekdays and (b) weekends, for (i) total of all passenger types, (ii) full fare passengers, (iii) concession passengers excluding students and (iv) school students.

(3) For the period June to September 2019 (inclusive), what was the daily average number of boardings of light rail for (a) weekdays and (b) weekends, in the (i) Gungahlin district and (b) Canberra Central district.

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

1 and 2 – The tables below set out the daily average number of journeys on Transport Canberra bus and light rail services recorded by Transport Canberra on a quarterly basis, for the periods from 1 July to 30 September 2018 and 1 July to 30 September 2019 by:

ticket category; and

district in which the journey originated.

The total number of journeys shown in Table 1 differs to the total number in Tables 2, 3 and 4 as Table 1 includes all journeys recorded, including those where customers used paper tickets. Tables 2, 3 and 4 only include journeys made with a MyWay card where an originating public transport stop can be determined.

‘District’ is taken to have the same meaning as in s5 of the Districts Act 2002.

There were no recorded journeys on regular Transport Canberra bus or light rail services that originated in the districts of Booth, Coree, Cotter River, Hall, Kowen, Mount Clear, Paddys River, Rendezvous Creek, Stromlo or Tennent between 1 July and 30 September 2018 or 1 July and 30 September 2019.
