Kia ora Tony,
The information you requested - CAS-885288-L5M9F8
Thank you for your request for information dated 01 April 2024 relating to the Auckland Transport
Rapid Transport Plan.
1) Can AT please provide a copy of the source spreadsheet that created this graph? For the sake of
clarity, a copy of the spreadsheet with all formula and other programming is requested.
Please find the data attached. This is the same data that has been provided previously, the only
change being that the ‘Draft’ label has changed to ‘Final’ after the Auckland Transport (AT) Board
approval of the ARTP. For further clarification on these numbers, please refer to responses provided
by Hamish Bunn on 12 September 2023 and 12 October 2023 (attached).
2) Can AT please provide a copy of the memo, email, purchase order or other communication that
requested the information in this graph to be revised from the Draft ARTP?
There is no memo, email, purchase order or other communication that specifical y requested this
graph to be revised; the document has been reviewed through a “business as usual” internal review
of the document, prior to its approval and publication. Your request is therefore declined under
section 17 (e) of the LGOIMA as the information does not exist.
3) Can AT please provide copies of all spreadsheets, papers, reports, and/or correspondence which
is the source for the revised information in this graph?
The source of the revised numbers has been outlined in the response provided by Hamish Bunn on
12 September 2023, which describes the vehicle types used, and considered representative for each
individual system. Note there is no “authoritative source" for the information in the table. The
capacity of a rapid transit network is highly dependent on a variety of circumstances, many of which
would be unique to each individual network. The graph is meant to provide the reader with a high-
level overview of the different capacities of various transport systems.

4) Can AT please provide the source (transport expert, transport consulting company) that
provided the revised information in this graph?
Information in this chart was prepared and reviewed by Luke El iott, a former member of staff.
5) Can AT please outline when it received the revised information in this graph?
We estimate that the report was reviewed in September – October 2023.
6) Can AT please provide a copy of any and all reviews (internal or external) of the information in
the graph that confirmed this revised information is accurate?
The original draft an final (reviewed) version of the information have been included in the
spreadsheet. In the reviewed version, vehicle capacities were adjusted to more accurately represent
existing AT rapid transit fleet, as wel as overseas examples for systems that are not used in
Auckland.
Should you believe that we have not responded appropriately to your request, you are able to make
a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in accordance with section 27(3) of the LGOIMA and
seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
Yours sincerely
Phil Wratt
Customer Care Engagement Manager.
