Ministerial Release "For the first time, a Date: 29/03/2018 13:00 dedicated team of TransLink Authors: Senior Network Officers Minister for Transport Mark (SNO's) will be permanently Bailey based in the northern regions Minister for Police and of the South East Minister for Corrective Queensland public transport Services Mark Ryan network, following a new patrol base becoming operational in the weekend." Trail Focus claim: Ministerial Release "The base and SNO team will Date: 29/03/2018 13:00 ensure enhanced customer "Greater Revenue Authors: service and safety activities Protection presence in this Minister for Transport Mark on public transport for our area" Bailey local community" Minister for Police and Minister for Corrective Services Mark Ryan "… it will enable coverage on many early and late bus and rail services in the region which previously required significant planning from the Brisbane-based SNOs…" "The SNO presence and influence across the network across the network … has now been improved" "The aim of the outpost is targeting northbound rail line from Petrie covering Redcliffe Peninsula, Caboolture, Nambour and Gympie North lines and support local bus operators such as Sunshine Coast Sunbus, Caboolture Bus Lines, Kangaroo Bus Lines, Hornibrook Bus Lines, Bribie Island Coaches, and Thompson Bus Services" Agreed. "In April/May 2021 TransLink commenced a network wide survey of Fare Evasion across all modes of transport. This survey was conducted by an independent contractor being EY Sweeney" The data areas for capture, including the northern areas were ascertained by Daniel Pasterfield – Network Shift Supervisor. Issues surrounding the survey (raised the time with current NSS). "The fare evasion survey data is also supported by TransLink’s own data teams who monitor passenger usage and travel patterns across the entire SEQ passenger network." "One of the key survey methodologies is to ensure a set sample or number of passengers per service and location are checked to ensure to meet the required data integrity." "During the survey EY Sweeney identified that the low patronage on the network was contributing to getting insufficient data in the northern part of the SEQ network which meant we needed to do additional survey shifts to get sufficient data." "This triggered a new patronage review with TransLink’s performance team to understand the resourcing requirements across the entire revenue protection team." Questions/Comments from this: The fare evasion survey was not streamlined with adequate time frames. Several issues arose including selecting stations 2 days before the start of the survey. Targets set were unrealistic – 400 plus passengers in peak on Sunshine Coast Line for services that were not frequent. When this was raised the response was "do the best you can". The survey was not consistently administered against all shifts. The patronage review data needs clarification and submission. Comments: Rail Morayfield area/Petrie - Does this included the data from Gold Coast area North Patronage Comments which is serviced by an outpost? - Where is the data taken from – no data has been provided for review. Bus Morayfield area/Petrie - Does this include the data from Gold Coast area North Patronage Comments which is serviced by an outpost? - Where is the data taken from – no data has been provided for review. Rail SEQ South Morayfield - Does this included the data from Gold Coast area area/Petrie North Patronage which is serviced by an outpost? % Comments - Where is the data taken from – no data has been provided for review. Bus SEQ South Morayfield - Does this included the data from Gold Coast area area/Petrie North Patronage which is serviced by an outpost? % Comments - Where is the data taken from – no data has been provided for review. Comments: SunBus - What selection of data has been selected? No figures have been reviewed or provided. - What is the percentage of fare evasion on the service to customer fares? - What is the percentage of incidents logged to customer fares/fare evasion? Buslink - This is predominantly the school bus runs. Management has not issued any direction regarding this measure. "Current bus deployments indicate Sunbus deployments occurred 21.54% of the time as opposed to other bus deployments in the Morayfield area of Operations" "Deployment data indicates >60% of deployments by the Morayfield team occur on train. It has been explained more train deployments occur due to early finishing times of bus services in the Morayfield area of operations." "This means more than half of Morayfield’s deployments are targeted at approx. 1.6 Million train passengers annually." "Conversely it means that less than half of deployments in the Morayfield area of operations are targeted at the approx. 6.5 Million bus passengers annually." "It also means the largest passenger loading for Morayfield’s area of operations being Sunbus sunshine coast (approx. 3.4 million passengers annually) receives the least coverage due to operational limitations." Comments A monthly deployment is completed - sent through to management – if they are not targeting the correct areas/issues why has this not been communicated? What is the communication of management to the effective application of the office? Where has management previously indicated the office is not hitting arbitrary targets? The office was predominantly set up to complete more of the first and last services on the outer buses. This has been achieved. Where is the data to show in the increase presence on services prior to the inception of the office, and the inception of the office? This is a key indicator of the original aims off the office. The Morayfield team has completed more checks, paperwork and successful operations then the majority of the Brisbane teams. This data needs to be released. It is captured by Danial Pasterfield and released to supervisors on a monthly basis. Statistics where and when. Also questioning the sample data relating how when and why put together and with what knowledge. For example, infrequent areas, times, services selected. When were the statistics gathered that show what percentage of passengers are being interacted with Is the number devised solely from card reads or also from presence related interaction and stationary duties. Have the numbers been taken from time periods when the team was at peak numbers, or low. Has consideration been taken in regards to team numbers and potential team numbers given the interest by potential new team members. Data taken on fare evasion statistics for the north outpost team is high amongst the SNO cohort, showing the team working effectively within the restrictions placed upon the team at any given time. In relation to the fare evasion survey, the details for when and where SNOs would be recording data were made with little preparation, only 1 week in before due to start, by someone with very little local network knowledge. This compromises the integrity of the sample selections This was not a trial. Reasons for opening vs closing variation - Ministerial statement by mark Ryan It’s SNOing in northern SEQ - Ministerial Media Statements - The reasons given for the team opening do not line up with the reasons given for the team closing. Since the opening of the Morayfield outpost the team has work consistently to meet the desired result laid out in the opening of the outpost. - Youth crime media prominence, local benefits vs mass area coverage - Youth crime is enormous in media at present and is noted as something that both the Public transport Minister and QLD Premier - The team local to North Brisbane notes special knowledge of the youths on the network inclusive of names ,friend circles, regular locations and so on. Allowing a more effective coverage of the problem. - City based teams remark consistently that youth crime is very difficult for them to tackle since being spread out so far makes it impossible for them to learn the names and develop rapport with any offenders. They note that youths ignore, walk away from, offend in front of, and abuse staff and customers and there is little they can do about it. - Disbanding the local north Brisbane outpost will amplify the youth crime problem north of Petrie by taking away the consistent and familiar eyes on the ground. Operational Benefits from SNO's "Staff from the Morayfield office will benefit from greater access to Revenue protection management and leadership structures." Management do not visit Morayfield. 6-12 trips have been made by management since inception. Management do not communicate to the team on ground level and limited communication when questions are asked is offered. Does this mean that Gold Coast outpost is exposed to the same limitations and if so why hasn't it impacted them to date? RPU manager goes to the Gold Coast frequently for visitation – why can Morayfield not be exposed to the same opportunities? "Staff from the Morayfield office will be closer to the larger part of the Brisbane team and therefore will have greater support from being part of a larger team." This is a moot and contradictory point.
