Dear Canterbury Regional Council,

For each PTOM unit for ECAN public transport services (bus, train and ferry) and for each year that this information is available, can the ECAN please provide:
1) The patronage data for the unit by month

3) The data that shows the extent to which the unit is subsidised by month

Dear LGOIMA,

Apologise for the mismatch between the request title and the requested information. I was concious that there was a delay in the implementation of PTOM contracts for PT services by EC due to the earthquake and initially drafted to ask for oine year in the title. However, this is an error.

I wish to confirm the requested information is outlined in the text:

For each PTOM unit for ECAN public transport services (bus, train and ferry) and for each year that this information is available, can the ECAN please provide:
1) The patronage data for the unit by month
2) The fare Revenue for the unit by month
3) The data that shows the extent to which the unit is subsidised by month
4) The Commerciality Ratio for the unit by month

Yours sincerely,

Tony Randle
