I agree with Auckland Transport's response and that your request was too broad. The way it was worded would of meant tearing up the office to find every single piece of paper on the topic ("any problem relating to technical problem since introduction").
Instead of asking for information on a topic, it is better to think about what you really want to know. What is the gap in your knowledge you are seeking to fill?
If you did want all technical problems, you need to qualify it, either by further narrowing by aspect (e.g. technical problems about the cards not reading) or by time period, or by some other aspect (a definitive list of technical issues recorded, but not all documents).
I would also advise to get another person to proof read your request prior to you sending it. In this way, they can amend it to improve flow, remove redundant words, and add words for clarity.
You also want to ensure your facts are correct. For example in the case of "Auckland Transportation Corporation", which was not a legacy organisation of Auckland Transport after all.
