(1) On average 13 pieces of SmartRider bus equipment are returned each week to the SmartRider supplier for repair out of 3,279 pieces of equipment currently in use on the public transport network. This equates to 0.396%. The SmartRider Maintenance Agreement provides that the Contractor must meet a number of Key Performance Indicators which specify the required performance level for the on-board bus equipment over each monthly period. Unsatisfactory performance will result in an adjustment to the amount of the Service Charge payable for that month.
(2) Daily.
(3) Immediately if a fault is found while the bus is in the depot or as quickly as the bus can be bought out of service (typically at the end of its current trip).
