I get an error message “400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large nginx” when trying to access ferry MST data from July 2016.

How can I access ferry MST data and is there still a table available which provides official ferry patronage data (ie consolidation of Opal trips, MST data and estimates of non validated journeys) with a comparison with previous years? I only need the data for Sydney Ferries (not Newcastle Ferries), but it would be nice to access Manly Fast Ferry data also if that is available.

Hi Robin,

I have added the MST data here:

> **[User account | TfNSW Open Data Hub and Developer Portal](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/opal-trips-all-modes/resource/26a65e43-7f92-4d50-aae7-cd127b274b4d)**
>
> Transport for NSW's Open Data Portal

This dataset only covers July 2016, and is the last month of MST tickets on the public transport system.

We may be able to provide older ferry MST data - what years/months do you require?

Unfortunately we do not have Manly Fast Ferry data, as the Manly Fast Ferry is a private service and not part of Transport for NSW.

Regards

Stephanie

I have now located the MST data file for July 2016. What I still don’t have is the official total for ferry patronage in 2016-17 on the page www.transport.nsw.gov.au/performance-and-analytics/passenger-travel/ferry-patronage/ferry-patronage-top-level-charts

Hi Robin,

Ok, I see that figure is not there. I will check when this figure (total ferry patronage 2017/17) will be available

Hi Robin,

With respect to the total ferry patronage for FY 16/17, it should not be too long now (a few weeks at most). We are currently in the process of finalising the patronage numbers for all modes.

I will post when the figures are published

Regards

Stephanie
