The Member recently asked for similar very detailed patronage data regarding Thornlie Station (LA 529). In providing the detailed information in response to LA 529 the point was made that the very specific patronage statistics requested had required significant resources to compile. The Public Transport Authority's Transperth System operates the SmartRider ticketing system and its train station cash ticketing system, both of which were developed with a sound range of standard reports. However the patronage statistics you have sought are very specific and to provide the information requested would require considerable research which would divert staff away from their normal duties and accordingly, I am not prepared to allocate the States resources to provide a response.
(5) On an average weekday, 622 customers tag on at Gosnells Station and tag off in the CBD.
On an average Saturday, 159 customers tag on at Gosnells Station and tag off in the CBD.
On an average Sunday, 75 customers tag on at Gosnells Station and tag off in the CBD.
