Dear Mr Randle

 

Thank you for your recent email.  I can confirm that GWRC received your
reply on 23 November 2017.  The average fares are calculated by dividing
total revenue by boarding for each zone.  The information used in these
calculations was provided to GWRC on a confidential basis by transport
operators in the Region.

 

This information is therefore withheld in accordance with section
7(2)(c)(i) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
1987 (the Act) on the ground that withholding the information is necessary
to protect information which is subject to an obligation of confidence. 
Releasing this information would be likely to prejudice the supply of
similar information, or information from the same source, and it is in the
public interest that such information should continue to be supplied.

 

We have considered whether the public interest in the requested
information outweighs GWRC’s need to withhold the calculations.  As a
result, we do not consider that the public interest outweighs GWRC’s
reason for withholding the calculations under the ground identified above.

 

If you have any concerns with the decision(s) referred to in this letter,
you have the right to request an investigation and review by the Ombudsman
under section 27(3) of the Act.

 

 

Regards

 

Wayne Hastie

Dear Wayne Hastie,

Thank you for your response today.

You outlined in your response that "The average fares are calculated by dividing total revenue by boarding for each zone."

I accept that the details of the above calculation may be subject to commerical confidentiality agreements.

However, can the GWRC provide a summary of this information as follows:

1) The total fare revenue for each zone used in the average fare calculation

2) The total boardings for each zone used in the average fare calculation

I ask for this information as it is likely to not be so commercially sensitive given than the totals will be a mixture from different operators while still providing the information I requested.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Randle
