Information about minimum bus capacity requirements

Hugh Davenport made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Wellington Regional Council should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Hugh Davenport

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

I saw a response from Metlink on a post at https://www.facebook.com/groups/10369437... that mentioned that the bus contractors are required to have a minimum capacity of 75 passengers. I guess this is a request in addition to my other request https://fyi.org.nz/request/9841-informat....

How many buses have had that minimum capacity met by actual passengers since July 2018? Ie, how many buses have actually had 75 passengers on it at a single time.

If there are other routes with other contractual minimums, I would like to know how many of those have ever had those capacities reached by actual passengers.

If those minimums have never been reached, I would like to know what Metlink are doing about the breach of contractual obligations from the bus operators?

Yours faithfully,

Hugh Davenport

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

While this was discussed during a meeting with Greg Pollock today, I would still like this information to ensure that there is adequate capacity on the Metlink network.

Please note that this request was an addition to https://fyi.org.nz/request/9841-informat..., which I have since "withdrawn" from the FYI system. Both that and all the additions in this thread (https://fyi.org.nz/request/9863-informat...) should be treated as the complete request. Replies should be made to this request.

Yours faithfully,

Hugh Davenport
