The data used to develop this page has been gathered by CMET and Transport Canberra. Below are explanations of what each figure represents and how the numbers are calculated:

Scheduled services:

The total number of planned services for the month, including additional planned services, e.g for special events.

% Services run:

The percentage of services run out of the total number of scheduled services for the month. e.g. if there were 100 services planned and 98 of them actually ran, the % services run would be 98%. This calculation includes a pro-rata rate for any partially completed services.

% Services on time:

The percentage of services that arrived on time out of the total services run. * E.g. if there were 100 services run and 98 of them arrived on time, the % services on time would be 98%
*A service is considered on time when it arrived within 2 minutes of its scheduled arrival time at predetermined timing points.

Monthly passenger boardings:

Total number of light rail passenger boarding’s during the reporting month. This data is sourced from Transport Canberra's ticketing system and includes MyWay boarding’s (tapped on) and paper tickets purchased at Light Rail stops.

Car Trips Avoided:

Calculated by the number of monthly total passengers divided by the average amount of passengers in a car per day (*source BITRE data)
