TRAIN
SERVICES — PATRONAGE
92. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Transport:
I refer to
current levels of patronage on the various train service lines.
(1) What
proportion of pre-COVID patronage is now observable on the following —
(a) the Armadale
line;
(b) the Fremantle
line;
(c) the Joondalup
line;
(d) the Mandurah
line; and
(e) the Midland
line?
(2) To what
degree has total patronage recovered against system utilisation prior to COVID,
and what is the contribution of the airport line to this recovery?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Transperth
train patronage figures for each line are published in the Public Transport
Authority's annual reports and on the Public Transport Authority
website. To further assist the member, I table a media statement, ''Public transport patronage bouncing back in WA'',
dated 18 December 2022. I think that media statement includes the
figures the member wants, but if it does not and the reference to a website is
a problem, I will get that tabled for the member.
