A TransLink spokesman said several reasons contributed to fewer people using public transport, including cold weather in July, increasing cases of COVID-19, other outbreaks of illnesses and working from home arrangements. “In the week ending June 26, patronage was 76.4 per cent of pre COVID-19 levels, with various factors contributing to a subsequent decline to 63.3 per cent of pre COVID-19 levels in the week ending July 24,” he said.
Queensland recorded 4303 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, adding to the total of 51,797. Of 782 COVID patients in hospital, 24 were in intensive care units.because of driver shortages caused by absences related to seasonal illness, influenza and COVID-19, and difficulty attracting and retaining drivers.The TransLink spokesperson said Zone 1 travel accounted for about 57 per cent of all travel.
“Zone 1 travel in the week ending July 24 was down 12.8 percentage points compared to the week ending June 26.The spokesman said students tended to travel locally and proportionally made up a higher level of Zone 1 travel.“During the comparison period, student travel has remained higher when compared to adult travel.Save
