Performance Indicators (Unaudited)

For the year ending 30 June 2005

Metropolitan and regional passenger services

Cost per 1000 place kilometres

The cost efficiency of providing the service per place kilometres is measured using the cost per 1000 place kilometres.

Transperth Train Operations

Performance Indicators (Unaudited) For the year ended 30 June 2005

Following the expansion of train services, passenger kilometres increased by 6.0% in 2004/05. However, the total cost of providing train services increased by 34.5% due largely to a significant increase in capital charges associated with the long term investment in the extension of the railway line both in the Northern and Southern suburbs. Furthermore, as a result of the service expansion, operating costs rose by 19.4%.

Transperth Bus Operations

The variance is due to the 6.1% increase in bus total costs combined with marginally lower passenger place kilometres.

The increase in total costs was the result of both higher capital charges (increase of 11%) following the acquisition of new buses, and higher operating costs (increase of 4.7%).The increase in the operating costs was as a result of expenditure on security issues, ticketing system maintenance, higher insurance and vehicle licensing costs as well as bus stop and infrastructure maintenance.

Transperth Ferry Operations

The actual 2004/05 cost per passenger kilometre is significantly higher than the target for 2004/05 as a result of the target being based on an underestimated budget which did not reflect the total cost of operating the ferry service.

Regional Bus Services

The actual for 2004/05 compared to the target is higher as a result of a change in the basis of recording the revenue and cost of the regional services. The target has been calculated on costs net of revenue while the actuals are on a gross basis for most services. Excluding this anomaly there has been no significant change in performance.
