Dear Tony
Below each aspect of your request if the breakdown of the data sources, tasks involved and the amount of time for each task.
1) Can I please have a copy of the monthly fare revenue for each bus route and for each bus PTOM unit for each month from July 2018?
We will retrieve this information from our data warehouse, it will require the correct filters to be applied, reports to be run, a review of reports to ensure that they are correct, changes as/if required and will take approximately one hour.
2) Can I please have a copy of the bus ticket sales by ticket type and ticket type revenue for each bus route for each month from July 2018?
We will get this information from our data warehouse, it will require the correct filters to be applied, reports to be run, a review of reports to ensure that they are correct, changes as/if required and will take approximately one hour.
3) Can I please have a copy of the monthly bus PTOM contract operating cost paid to bus operators for each PTOM bus unit for each month from July 2018?
This will be manually done via review of our contract payment spreadsheets and collation of data and will take an estimated 4 hours. Because of the data source being contract payment spreadsheets, the complexity of the spreadsheets and manual checking to ensure accuracy then it will take a significant amount of work to collate.
I am also interested in the resultant PT patronage for Canterbury's public transport services and so also request the following monthly patronage information.
4) Can I please have a copy of the monthly the total number of passenger boardings by bus route from July 2018?
This will be included in point 2 above.
5) Can I please have a copy of the monthly the total number of bus passenger transfers from July 2018?
This will be included in point 2 above.
6) Can I please have a copy of the monthly the total number of bus passenger journeys (passenger boardings less transfers) from July 2018?
This will be included in point 2 above.
7) Can I please have a copy of the monthly the total number of passenger boardings which began during Peak Times by bus route from July 2018?
We will retrieve this information from our data warehouse, it will require the correct filters to be applied, reports to be run, a review of reports to ensure that they are correct, changes as/if required and will take approximately one hour.
8) Can I please have a copy of the monthly the total number of passenger boardings which began during Off Peak Times by bus route from July 2018?
We will retrieve this information from our data warehouse, it will require the correct filters to be applied, reports to be run, a review of reports to ensure that they are correct, changes as/if required and will take approximately one hour.
Peer/senior review of 1 hour.
