INQUIRIES
DEMANDES DE RENSEIGNEMENTS
OThis item can be found at 02:17:00 on the Transit
Commission Archived audiocast
Councillor Bloess submitted
the following two inquiries:
1. What
has been the revenue shortfall for OC Transpo advertising over the past three
years?
2. The
scheduling system was redesigned to render efficiencies and operational
savings.
When will an independent review be
undertaken on the performance of the current scheduling system, in terms of the
cost of development and the resulting savings, efficiencies and impacts?
Commissioner Blais submitted the following:
Why are trips on Route 21 continuously
missing? There are a number of buses out
of commission and this directly impacts the availability of extra buses on
routes such as this.
What is the status of warranty maintenance
recently undertaken?
Can OC Transpo confirm if articulated buses
were removed from the fleet to undertake warranty work?
Is warranty work generally scheduled to avoid
any conflict with service changes, seasonal peaks in ridership and other
similar considerations, in order to avoid any disruption to riders and service?
