WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR.
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2007
Question
Further to the Minister's response to a written question on 11th September 2007 relating to the cost of the new system for texting bus arrival times, would he advise Members of the total cost, including the provision of GPS equipment?
Answer
As stated in my answer to the Deputy on 11th September 2007, the SMS text messaging system is an added benefit from the installation of the Real Time Passenger Information system (RTPI) which will allow a dynamic stand allocation system to operate to make maximum use of the bus stands at Liberation Station. The total set-up cost of the RTPI, including the provision of GPS equipment on all the vehicles, is £441,138 of which £38,350 (as previously advised) relates exclusively to the SMS text messaging system.
