Dear J. Murphy
Request for information 2021-122
I refer to your request for information dated 19 May 2021, which was received by Greater Wellington
Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 19 May 2021. You have requested the following:
"I would like to know how often the number 58 bus from Newlands to Wellington station runs late? I
would also like to know when they do run late what the average lateness is in minutes? Specifically
the buses that leave Newlands between the hours of 7-8am Monday-Friday. Can you please provide
this data since the start of 2020 to the time of request received.”
Greater Wellington’s response follows:
As requested, please refer to
Attachment 1 which outlines the punctuality of Route 58 services from
Newlands to Wellington for trips between Monday and Friday, 7:00am to 8:00am, for the period 1
January 2020 to 19 May 2021. The data is the latest processed data information in Greater
Wellington’s database.
Bus punctuality data is measured in accordance with Key Performance Indicators (KPI), which set
targets for the performance of our bus services. Bus operators are required to meet these targets as
part of a service level agreement. The service level agreement for punctuality on the Route 58, as
for all services across the Metlink bus network, is set out below.
