QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the Minister's answer to question on notice No. 139 asked on 20 May 2025, in which the Minister was asked about average weekday boardings for a series of weeks for the Alkimos, Eglington and Yanchep train stations, and to which the Minister responded that the "Public Transport Authority publishes patronage data quarterly", and I ask: (a) noting that the "Transport performance" page on the Public Transport Authority (PTA) website publishes line-level figures for total boardings, where can data showing boardings per individual train station be accessed; (b) if boardings data per train station cannot be publicly accessed, is this able to be provided in answer to Parliamentary questions; (c) if no to (b), why not; and (d) if yes to (b), is the Minister able to provide average weekday boardings for the month of May 2025 for: (i) Eglinton station; (ii) Alkimos station; and (iii) Yanchep station?
