Request for information: 

"I am requesting any information held by GWRC, that is either internal, or has been provided to contracted providers of public transport services within the Wellington Region, for example, but not limited to, Transdev, Tranzit, Mana Coach Services, NZ Bus, and any other succeeding operators, that relates to the performance and temperature settings of air conditioning controls on the bus or train services provided. 

Please also provide any information relating to the guidance or operation of the air conditioning controls, such as but not limited to, operating temperatures, consideration of passenger numbers, the effect of CO2 exhalations warming up the transport service and any other guidelines or considerations that the public transport operator must consider when setting air conditioning controls." 

On 2 June 2023 we contacted you to see whether you would narrow your scope to a certain timeframe to limit the number of items. You responded: 

"Can this be from when the transport operator changeover started in mid 2018? Around the time of the "bustastrophe" and "maybe further refinement is just correspondence from GWRC to the transport operators previously mentioned as it relates to the operation of and guidelines relating to air conditioning etc"
