  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

  • Bargaining Process) Bill 2014
    The Committee Secretary The Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee P.O. Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra, ACT 2600 Email: [email protected] 23 January 2015 Dear Sir Subject: The Fair Work Amendment (Bargaining Process) Bill 2014 The Australian Public Transport Industrial Association (APTIA) has set out below submissions relating the Fair Work Amendment (Bargaining Process) Bill and respectfully requests the Standing Committee on Education and Employment Legislation consider its submission. The undersigned is available to appear before your Committee to expand upon APTIA’s position. The Industry APTIA is the industrial arm of the Bus Industry Confederation (BIC), which is the peak national body, representing bus and coach operators across the country. There is an estimated thirty thousand employees (30,000) who are employed by BIC members. APTIA represents all State Bus and Coach Associations with over 2000 small and large bus and coach operators. APTIA also represents Urban Bus and Coach Operators whose businesses traverse state boundaries such as Transdev Australia, Transit Systems Australia, Transit Australia Group, Greyhound Australia and Murrays Australia. Other public transport operators who are members of APTIA include the Ventura group, operating in Melbourne and the Bus Lines group who operate throughout 10 large rural regions in New South Wales. As previously outlined to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee the public transport industry is a labour intensive industry and bus and coach drivers are employed under the modern award or in most cases under negotiated enterprise agreements. Most bus operators specifically operate Government contracted route and school bus services. The public is dependent upon the regular scheduled bus services.

Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 141, 59-80. Documented in this report is a small fauna recovered from an unnamed stratigraphic unit of bioclastic limestone, black shale and carbonaceous mudstone intersected in a drill hole (NPM-GD871) undertaken by CMOC-Northparkes Mines in the Northparkes porphyry district, located ca 30 km NW of Parkes, central western New South Wales. It includes six conodont species (Panderodus unicostatus, Pandorinellina exigua, Pelekysgnathus sp., Wurmiella excavata, Zieglerodina remscheidensis and gen. et sp. indet.), one rugose coral (Microplasma ronense), three tabulate coral species (Favosites duni, Squameofavosites bryani and Thamnopora minor) and one stromatoporoid species (Densastroma sp.). Faunal analysis indicates a maximum age of late Lochkovian and a minimum age of Pragian for this unit, equivalent to the upper part of the Derriwong Group.
