5.3 Long term trends<br />
• The availability of ticketing equipment on metropolitan trains and buses has been very high over the past four years.<br />
• Ticketing availability on trams has been his<strong>to</strong>rically lower due <strong>to</strong> delays in detecting equipment faults. This is because<br />
the equipment on trams is not in permanent communication with the OneLink control centre and technicians can only<br />
meet the tram at a terminating point <strong>to</strong> fix any problems with the ticketing equipment. Yarra Trams and OneLink are<br />
working on programs that will improve the availability of ticketing equipment on trams.<br />
