It doesn't. According to a letter from a former ACT Minister for Urban
Services (dated September 1996) our farebox recovery ratio was less than
20%.
However, as a report by Roger Graham has pointed out, there are serious
difficulties with the current route/timetable/fare structures, and
certain changes could increase patronage and cost-recovery ratios.
We've been promised big changes to routes and fares by the middle of
this year along the lines of those suggested above.
