(1) (7 370), (7 568), (6 755).
(2)(a) Infringements were issued for fare evasion, smoking, consume alcohol, acting in a manner to cause nuisance, damage, interfere with mechanism, begging or busking, placing feet on seats, carrying prohibited item, travel with bicycle during time restricted periods.
(b) 4.
(c) This information is not available. Cautions are recorded as a whole of system tally number only.
(d) This information is not available. Such information is not collated by operational staff on a rail line basis.
(e) This information is not available. When an infringement notice is issued for a fare evasion related matter, staff do not note the "intended" destination of the customer or the monetary shortfall of the offence the customer has committed.
(f) $2 156 600 This figure was calculated on the basis of the number of infringement notices issued by a face penalty value of $100.
(g) $667 096.
(h) $300.
(3) $33 360.
(4)(a) 1611.

(c) 0.25.
(d) See part (2)(e).
(e) $3 522 280.
(f) $1 266 825. It should be noted that for 2013-14 the Public Transport Authority is yet to be reimbursed monies for infringement notices paid at the Fines Enforcement Registry and therefore the final average value of fines paid at all trains lines is not yet available.
(g) $300.
