PUBLIC TRANSPORT — PATRONAGE
393. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Transport:
I refer to levels of patronage
across the metropolitan train network.
(1) When does the
Public Transport Authority expect network-wide patronage to return to 2018–19
levels?
(2) When does the PTA expect
network-wide patronage to return to 2013–14 levels?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Total
patronage on the Transperth train network is at 95 per cent of pre-COVID
levels. The bounce back in WA public transport patronage is one of the
strongest in the country and is expected to continue as the McGowan government
continues to provide affordable, attractive and environmentally friendly
services for the community.
