Subject: Official Information Act request - Farebox recovery ratio for Oct
2013 fares
 
     Dear Wellington Regional Council,
 
     With the annual fare increase about to come into effect, I would
     like to know more about the farebox recovery ratio calculations.
     The press release issued on 17 Sept 2013 suggests a target of 55%,
     while maintaining that there is a policy of fare increases of
     3%/year, implying that operating costs are increasing at a similar
     rate.
 
     For completeness, I would like to see
     1) the farebox recovery ratio
     2) the total operating costs attributed to running the public
     transport network
     3) total revenue from fares collected
     4) total subsidies from GWRC
     5) total subsidies from NZTA
     over the past 5 years and projected amounts for 2013-2014.
 
     Yours faithfully,
 
     Greg Bodnar
