Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Travel Restrictions
Ms Anne Graham:
It is very difficult to give a definitive figure to the Deputy because it depends on the response of the Government over the next number of months in terms of social distancing and the response of the public in terms of returning to public transport following, hopefully, a full easement of all restrictions.
Fare revenue covers approximately 65% of the cost of operating public transport. If 80%, or a good proportion, of that is lost, it represents a significant shortfall in public transport service provision and covering the cost associated with that.
