10119 - DECREASE IN SCHOOL STUDENTS USING KEOLIS DOWNER BUS NETWORK

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure

What is the reason for the 45,000 decrease in school students using Keolis Downer bus network in July to September 2018?
Answer -

I am advised:

Newcastle Transport delivers over 150 school services per school day.

There are a number of factors influencing the school student Opal data including:

  • Accuracy in Opal data for students travelling on school services relies on individual students remembering to tap on and tap off for each trip;
  • The number of school days in a month where school holidays normally fall varies from year to year; and
  • Seasonal factors affecting people's travel patterns.
