PUBLIC TRANSPORT

254 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008). With respect to the 2008-09 budget papers—Program 4: public transport services, what extra supplies and services will be provided at a further cost of $13.629 million?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information:

The increase in the goods and services budget is due to impact of Treasury allowance for inflation and higher contract costs e.g. fuel, patronage incentive payments, plus extra funding for additional public transport services. The increased costs have partially been offset by the impact of the transfer of TransAdelaide rail assets to DTEI.
