(3) The Public Transport Authority (PTA) does not record in any database reasons why an infringement notice is withdrawn and therefore to provide exact figures would require individual investigation of every parking ticket withdrawn for the period in question.
Undertaking such a significant task is considered to be an unreasonable use of public resources.
