RRTA does it the same way Mark does it. | ||

Gary, Our standard practices would be on those rare occasions when the bus can swing into the garage to get exchanged for another vehicle, we do not count that as a road call because there was no service interruption, this would be for something minor since the driver is able to get back to the garage and it would not be out of his way or cause him to fall behind in his schedule. However, depending on how NTD defines "scheduled trip", if the driver is given another bus and he goes back out to complete his "run", they may want that classified as a road call. It is a rare occurrence here at CAT. Whatever that minor problem would be, if we pull the bus halfway through the schedule, the road call would be classified as "Other Mechanical". If the bus can't move or there is a safety issue, then we classify the road call as a "Major Mechanical". This does tie directly into your NTD reporting. You may at times do a "Repaired in Service" road call which for NTD purposes is not reported because the same bus "completed the trip." Is this something that you do a lot of? Mark | ||

What is everyones procedure for determining a road call- if the vehicle (with a problem) starts the run, goes all the way out and back to starting point,gets changed out here with exchange bus, is it a road call (it completed the scheduled trip). With the same scenario but the bus gets pulled halfway through the scheduled run (it is a road call)! Has everyone seen the new formula/chart from the NTD. Looking for your input. |
