QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 11th MAY 2004,
BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HERISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
Question
Would the President advise members –
( a ) what the loss of revenue is to Connex as a result of awarding the licence to Easylink to operate a summer
tourist service?
(b ) what the estimated contribution is to the Committee's revenues from the premium applied to the
Easylink Services? And
( c ) why a town "Hoppa" service was not made part of the Easylink Service? Answer
" ( a) The agreement the new Committee has reached with Easylink for the 2004 summer tourist service provides the Committee with full disclosure of passenger numbers and fare income. This will facilitate a full assessment of the service this year and allow the Committee to make decisions regarding the whole of the scheduled bus service for next year.
( b ) The word premium' has not been used in any decision concerning the tourist bus service. I therefore
cannot answer the question.
( c ) The Easylink service is a visitor-focused entity, directly fed by dedicated hotel collection and return
services. A Hoppa' service would need to cater for residents all year round and may be considered as part of the Committee's overall appraisal of public transport provision in the autumn."
