Common questions
Why do we produce the reports?
We want to show how our operators have been performing against a number of measures. There's also a network average for further comparisons.
Who do the reports go to?
They are distributed internally, as well as to operators.
How do the reports benefit operators?
Reports give operators the data to measure performance against their own track record and that of other bus companies.
Where does the data come from?
Data comes from electronic systems that hold bus mileage by day and route.
