In terms of "the people" who put the chart together, a Brampton staff member presented it at the time and I wonder if the reference to the "Business Case Analysis" refers to any of the documents in the studies and reports done during the EA/TPAP? Maybe Brampton staff were summarizing the information found in the studies. Wouldn't the bus operating savings be fairly easy for staff to have asked Brampton Transit staff? Same thing for the increase in fare revenue. Wouldn't it simply be a the number of riders projected by 2031 multiplied by the fare? I realize the technology is different, but would the process between Brampton staff, Brampton transit, and any outside consultants really have been that different from when Zum was established and projections were made on the the costs or savings of introducing those routes?
Without more commentary from the people who put the slide together, or having a chance to ask them directly, I wouldn't want to assign motive. I do agree that more information is always more helpful.
