UPDATE: COVID-19 PUBLICATION IMPACT The publication of this report has been delayed by three months due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This report, and the majority of research included within it, was completed primarily between September 2019 and March 2020 – prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic affecting local economies and transit revenue across Canada. While efforts have been made to include relevant announcements by Canadian transit agencies since that time, specifically as they relate to electric buses, many investment decisions and funding programs related to municipal green infrastructure deployments may change this year as a result of the financial crisis unfolding in cities across the country. -

Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direc Ons Study
Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direcons Study FINAL REPORT 2011 St. John’s Transportation Commission (Metrobus) 2011 Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study – Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY STUDY PROCESS Metrobus engaged Dillon Consulting Limited to provide a Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study for the St. John’s transit system. The need for this study was precipitated by the decline in reported transit ridership since the major service changes in 2007. Both the accuracy of ridership reporting and the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems were reviewed. As well, a major onboard passenger survey was conducted on March 23rd, 2010 to understand the characteristics of current transit users and to probe their reactions to the recent service changes. Additional surveys were conducted with post secondary students, local businesses and the general public (through the Metrobus web site). Individual stakeholder meetings and focus groups with system personnel and transit users also contributed valuable input to the study. The current services were reviewed by an experienced team of consultants and suggestions offered for system enhancements and productivity improvements. Future transit market opportunities were identified for their potential to generate ridership growth and assessed for the resulting implications on Metrobus. Finally, the material gathered and analyzed was used to assist Metrobus management staff in updating their existing Five Year Strategic Plan for the period 2011 to 2015. KEY FINDINGS Concerning the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems, the review indicated that there is no cause for concern. Duties are clear and separated, secure processes are in place and revenue is protected.
