I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. Connection times vary across
the network.
(2) Not applicable.
(3)–(5) The
amount of time for a connection is calculated based upon the time a person may
take from the furthest point on the train platform to the furthest active stand
within the bus interchange. When the walking distance is minimal, connection
times are also minimised. When the walking distance is longer, additional
connection time is provided.
