The
Public Transport Authority
advises:
(1) 7 failures on average per day for the 2010/2011 financial year.
(2) No
(3) Not Applicable
(4) Yes
(5) An Automatic Fare Gate (AFG) will close if a passenger takes too long to pass the sensors or if "tailgating" is detected by the AFG sensors. Records are not kept on how often this occurs.
The alternate option of manned gates being inferred by the Member would be excessively costly. It would however continue the trend of wasteful policy decision being made by the Labor Party, including their plan to paint all Taxis gold at a cost of approximately $10 million of tax payers money.
