Statistics - Dial-a-Journey
The service as whole in 2001/02 carried over 49,000 passengers, which
has grown from 28,000 passengers in 1997/98 and it is likely that this
will grow in the future. This represents a significant growth of compared
to figures of 23,000 passengers carried in 1995-96. Vehicles travel over
350,000 miles per year
Statistics
- Taxicard
There are around 3000 members of the Taxicard scheme.
The Taxicard booking scheme is operated 6 days a week (Mon-Saturday) by
two full time co-ordinators, but the service itself operated 24 hours
per day 7 days per week.
This involves taking around 85,000 bookings for journeys per year on behalf
of the Councils, which are processed and passed onto taxi companies on
the Taxicard Scheme.
Statistics
- Group Hire and Self-Drive
Figures to date indicate that the self-drive vehicle hire facility carried
2349 passengers in 1999/2000
General
Statistics
We currently employ a total of 25 temporary and permanent, part-time and
full-time employees compared to 20 in 1995.
The fleet has increased from 9 operational vehicles to 17
There has been a significant
increase in total passengers carried of 95.6% from 23863 to 45654
Self-drive hire has more than doubled the number of passengers carried
to 3421 in 99/2000, which is encouraging, because it reflects a demand
for vehicles which we can offer outwith the peak time demands of Dial-a-Journey
needs. It also makes good use of vehicles that would have been idle when
we had no drivers. It is interesting to note that the turnaround in demand
for this service meant that it wasn't withdrawn, which was an option considered
in 1995.
Generally speaking, although costs are slightly ahead of income, Dial-a-Journey
has seen significant growth in it's services, maintained work for employees
and enhanced the quality of transport provision throughout sector we operate
in.
