Translink PT performance dashboard

The Translink PT performance dashboard is a digital resource that brings greater accessibility and visibility of performance on SEQ's public transport network.

The dashboard represents the SEQ area from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast, and includes measures from on-time running, patronage, fines and warnings, passenger injuries, and 25 customer experience metrics.

Translink will continue to invest in data collection with new performance measures, regional areas and enhanced filtering features to be added in the future.

A more accessible display of this data is available on the Open Data Portal.

Measures of Reliability

Metric	Mode	Geographic Location	Inclusions	Exclusions	Definition
On-time running South East Queensland (SEQ) bus overall	Bus	South East Queensland Brisbane City Eastern Region Gold Coast Northern Region Southern Region Western Region	SEQ bus services.	Rest of Queensland bus services are excluded.	On-time running is measured at selected key locations within specific time periods. The current on-time running calculation is based on an average monthly sample of all urban services across the SEQ bus network, consolidating the average performance from early departures, late arrivals and missed connections (as applicable) for a number of routes.
Citytrain 24/7 (adjusted for force majeure)	Train	Citytrain network	Citytrain services are those passenger services between Brisbane (Central Station) and the following locations: Gympie North, Rosewood, Springfield, Varsity Lakes, Shorncliffe, Ferny Grove, Kippa-Ring, Cleveland and Doomben.	On-time running result is adjusted to exclude events which are unavoidable or cannot reasonably be anticpated, such as storms, emergencies (for example on board medical emergencies), or compliance with directions from authorities such as police (force majeure events).	The percentage of train services on the Citytrain network that arrive at their destination within 3:59 minutes that have been adjusted for force majeure events. Please note: Gold Coast, Rosewood or North Coast services are classified as 'on time' if they arrives at their destination within 5:59 minutes.
Average on-time running performance in peak times – Citytrain	Train	Citytrain network	Citytrain services are those passenger services between Brisbane (Central Station) and the following locations: Gympie North, Rosewood, Springfield, Varsity Lakes, Shorncliffe, Ferny Grove, Kippa-Ring, Cleveland and Doomben.	Off-peak and contra direction services on the Citytrain network, and any non-Citytrain services. On-time running result is adjusted to exclude events which are unavoidable or cannot reasonably be anticpated, such as storms, emergencies (for example on board medical emergencies), or compliance with directions from authorities such as police (force majeure events).	The percentage of morning and afternoon peak train services on the Citytrain network that arrive at their destination within 3:59 minutes. Please note: Gold Coast, Rosewood or North Coast morning and afternoon peak services are classified as 'on time' if they arrives at their destination within 5:59 minutes. All Afternoon peak (3:30 - 6:30pm) services are measured on arrival at their destination; while most morning peak (6-9am) services are measured on arrival at Central Station.
Scheduled services delivered – Citytrain	Train	Citytrain network	Any service that is either partially or fully cancelled.	Train cancellations for non Citytrain services.
