I'd say we're overdue for this, aren't we?

Very.  I had to push for the last snap shot data as well.  They are losing the plot ...  well perhaps some would say they have lost it already!

Also have to wonder if TL either ramped up their SNO base (probably has with the increased GC/SC presence of late), or whether more QR AOs has been employed (which their numbers increased slightly in the last tracker report) and/or whether more G:Link CSOs has been employed as well.

My guess is that Q3 TransLink Tracker is being held back for estimates. Transport is on 28th July 2016.

Welcome to TransLink Tracker for the third
quarter of the 2015/16 financial year.

This latest edition represents our ongoing commitment to transparency and
accountability by providing key public transport data.

More than ever commuters are realising the savings and convenience of using
go cards with the latest data showing a higher number of public transport journeys
in South East Queensland now taken by customers using go cards.

This quarter's increase in go card use – now up to 86.4 per cent of all journeys –
is no surprise with go card customer satisfaction continuing to be at a high level.
The combination of high customer satisfaction and increased go card use has sped
us toward the billionth go card journey milestone on the South East Queensland
network.

It is now difficult for the majority of customers to imagine life, pre-2007, when we
did not have this simple, convenient and fast method of paying for our public
transport journeys.

This high level of go card use is testament to our mature and consistent
ticketing system.

In Quarter 3 2015-16 patronage fell by 1.3 percent, however with more days off
due to public holidays than usual falling over this quarter, patronage cannot be
compared equally to the same quarter the previous year. In 2014-15 Easter was
in Quarter 4 rather than Quarter 3 which accounts for this moderate decline in
patronage. With less public holidays falling in Quarter 4 in 2015-16 we expect
a comparative patronage increase.

TransLink Tracker Q3 2015-16

Good Morning,

The TransLink Tracker Q3 2015-16 was made publicly available yesterday

[ https://publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/translink-division-quarterly-reports/resource/464eccff-6a19-41a0-8081-d243f8be8b4f ]

Bus on-time running for Brisbane remains very poor.  This is another sign that bus network reform is needed:



Not much point in publishing data if no action is taken to resolve problems is it?

Best wishes,
Robert
