(a) The total number of passengers on the Australind train service for 2014-15 was 105 291.
(b)(i) 37 323.
(ii) 50 465 (50 per cent concession fare).
(iii) 2 166.
It is worth noting that the Transwa SmartCommuter ticketing system commenced on 1 January 2015 which replaced the Multirider ticket. From 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014, 2 266 passengers travelled on the Australind train service using their Multirider ticket.
Additionally for the 2014-15 year, there were 12 859 passengers that travelled on the Australind train service who did not pay a fare (for example pensioner free travel). Further, there were 212 passengers that paid 90 per cent of a full fare (this is called a Youth Hostel pass).
