(1) The Public Transport Authority (PTA) calculates the key effectiveness indicator for Category B occurrences per million passenger boarding’s by dividing the expected number of Category B incidents by the projected passenger boardings and then multiplying this number by the standardising factor of 1,000,000.
As outlined in the answer to Legislative Assembly Question on Notice 2115, the PTA considered the increase in the number of Category B occurrences of previous years and applied a conservative estimate of a 9 per cent increase of incidents (from 918 to 1,000) for 2017/18. This resulted in the target figure of 16.46 for 2017/18.
(2)-(4) Please refer to Legislative Assembly Question on Notice 2115.
