PT0261 - 2012 Fare Structure Review – Stages b & c
Contract Variation Number
CV001
Effective Date of Variation
1 February 2012
Item under Action :
Additional tasks
Description of change :
Bus/Rail Costing and Performance Appraisal
Reason for change :
As part of the fare structure options to be developed/assessed, it appears that
two of the more important policy ‘dimensions’ and related options are going to
relate to:
Fare v distance function (how fares vary with the number of zones traversed
etc)
Peak v off-peak fares (both the fare level relativities and the definition of
‘peak’ and ‘off-peak’ periods).
A major part of the rationale for these policies will be their ‘cost-reflectivity’,
i.e. what are the relative costs (per passenger) by distance and time period. In
regard to ‘costs’ in this context, therefore an assessment of the following is
required:
‘allocated’ costs and cost recovery per passenger—a financial measure; and
marginal/incremental costs per passenger (with/without externality costs
such as congestion relief)—an economic (transport efficiency) measure.
Specific Instructions :
Additional items to be provided:
Undertake an analysis (both bus and rail) of costs/passenger by line/route and by time period (particularly
weekday peaks v other periods). In this regard:
Bus. Use the Bus Policy Model to analyse WGN City bus operations and costs by route/time period.
Complete the work on the Bus Policy Model and extend it to cover all bus services in the region, to the level
of detail required, [Note: should not be a large task, as the required database and methodology are largely
established]
Rail. Undertake a new assessment by route/line by time period similar to that of Urban Rail Review of 1985
using the following information:
cost information, largely held by the Client
operations statistics from the timetable and/or KiwiRail
estimates of passengers and pass km by line by time period, based on the recent Client surveys, matrix
development and KiwiRail information.
The results will be used to inform the review of future fare structures, and in particular, the aspects of:
How fares should vary with distance travelled – by examining how costs/passenger vary with trip
length.
How fares might vary between different periods of the day/week (in particular weekday peak v other
periods) – by examining how costs/passenger vary by time period.
