Public transport—Patronage
Answer
Hon Samantha Rowe (Parliamentary Secretary) (5:01 pm) : I would also like to provide an answer to Hon Dr Brad Pettitt's question without notice 1269 asked yesterday, and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard. I also table an attachment that comes with it.
(See paper 915.)
Leave granted for the following material to be incorporated.
1–2. Patronage data is published on the Public Transport Authority's website, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics publishes population data, if the Member wishes to make a calculation.
To assist the member, I table the PTA patronage data and the ABS Western Australia snapshot. The WA Labor Government is proud of its efforts to make public transport more accessible and affordable, including by delivering 72km of new rail and 23 new stations through METRONET; making public transport more affordable by capping fares at two-zones—and soon—one-zone; and providing new, convenient fare payment options.
