ACTION bus service—benchmarking
(Question No 239)
Mr Coe asked the Minister for Transport, upon notice, on 25 June 2009:
(1) Why is the information on benchmarking of ACTION bus services considered commercial in confidence given that in the past such benchmarking has been completed and published.
(2) Why is the average performance benchmarking of private and public operators as a summary of benchmarking performance unavailable.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. The information on benchmarking of ACTION bus services is considered commercial in confidence as it contains information about private sector operators in the industry. ACTION’s benchmarking information has not been published in the past.
2. The average performance benchmarks are not available as the consultant conducting the benchmarking for bus operators around Australia requires all participants to maintain information as commercial in confidence.
