Request for the Bus Reference Case Appendix "Capacity Calculations" Calculations
Tony Randle made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport
The request was partially successful.
From: Tony Randle
Dear Auckland Transport,
On the 8th of Janurary 2019, I received a substantive response from Auckland Transport (AT) to my earlier OIA request for "the Stage Timing Model used to guide Auckland Light Rail development" (https://fyi.org.nz/request/9227-request-...).
One of the documents provided by AT was "Bus Reference Case Appendix Capacity Calculations 20151125 1.pdf" (https://fyi.org.nz/request/9227/response...). This document contains two key tables of bus stop capacity:
* Table 1: Impact of signal cycle time on bus stop capacity.
* Table 2: Impact of bus stop failure rate on bus stop capacity.
1) Can I please have a copy of the spreadsheet that calculated Table 1 of this document ?
2) Can I please have a copy of the spreadsheet that calculated Table 2 of this document ?
Please note that if the information requested is held in electronic form, I would request the information be provided in its complete and original electronic format.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Randle

Dear AT Official Information (AT),
RE your reply to FYI on 29 April 2019 on Information Request CAS-960466-K8Y3R8
Having provided the requested information spreadsheet, AT says it cannot provide the password from the contractor because the contractor refuses to provide it.
However, the AT response states "As an alternative, AT can look at providing the raw data for your perusal."
To obtain the understanding I seek on the timing model, I ask if AL can provide the information provided to the contractor that was used as the basis for the timing model.
Can you please confirm your receipt of this reply and when the requested information may be provided?
Yours sincerely,
Tony Randle

Dear AT Official Information (AT),
In regards to the spreadsheet information provided in the AT response of October 13, 2020, I note that all the formula have been removed from these spreadsheets.
1) Can Auckland Transport please provide the original spreadsheet "calculated passenger demand v3 20151008.xlsx" including the formula in this spreadsheet ?
2) Can Auckland Transport please provide the original spreadsheet "Attachment Routes Alignments and Termini v15 Growth.xlsx" including the formula in this spreadsheet ?
Please note that if the information requested is held in electronic form, I would request the information be provided in its complete and original electronic format.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Randle

Good Morning Tony,
Thank you for your request for further information regarding the above
case. The team responsible for working on this case have advised the
following:
Auckland Transport doesn’t have access to the files with formulas as this
is retained by the consultant. This being their intellectual property,
they have declined to provide this, so the material provided is the
entirety of what is available from AT. We do not have any further
information that we are able to provide relating to your request.
Accordingly, the above case has now been closed.
Kind regards,

Dear AT Official Information (AT),
Can you please outline the specific grounds under LGOIMA under which AT is refusing to provide the requested information ?
Yours sincerely,
Tony Randle
From: AT Official Information (AT)
Auckland Transport
Good Morning Tony,
Your original request has been answered and provided. No part of this request was withheld or refused. You have subsequently asked two additional questions which have been asked of the Team who provided the initial response. These additional requests have not resulted in a new case, they have been incorporated in your original one.
1) Can Auckland Transport please provide the original spreadsheet "calculated passenger demand v3 20151008.xlsx" including the formula in this spreadsheet ?
2) Can Auckland Transport please provide the original spreadsheet "Attachment Routes Alignments and Termini v15 Growth.xlsx" including the formula in this spreadsheet
The information you have asked for is not held by Auckland Transport and is refused under section 7(2)(b)(ii) of the LGOIMA - "that access would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information".
I trust this provides context to your request and subsequent refusal. This case has now been closed.
