Services Changes across the Transperth Bus Network
Sun 03 Feb
From Sunday 3 February 2019, there will be a number of service changes across the bus network.
It's surprising the extension to the 500 wasn't included on the map given that it's quite a significant, even if it's only once a day in each direction (how are passengers supposed to find out the planned routing otherwise?). While on the topic, it's a shame there wasn't a more significant trial of extensions to Fremantle via Bicton that don't specifically cater for school-kids; Booragoon lacks direct connectivity to Canning Highway west of Riseley Street.shinjiman wrote: Timetables updated:

Free late-night Fringe CAT buses revved up for arts festival
A special event late-night Fringe CAT will be running between festival venues from January 22 to March 3 to help passengers get to and from FRINGE WORLD Festival entertainment hubs.
Transport Minister Rita Saffioti announced the special services at the Girls School venue in East Perth, where acclaimed performance A Midnight Visit will be staged.
The free Fringe Red CAT will run a special route on a 15-minute frequency between Perth Busport and various Fringe Festival venues, including at Girls School.
Services will operate from around 7pm to 9.45pm during the week, with extended Fringe CATs running to about midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.
Passengers who use the Fringe CAT will be urged to provide their feedback on the extended service as part of a wider ongoing consultation into the Central Area Transit (CAT) bus services.
The consultation will help guide the future of the highly popular free CAT services, including any potential future time or route extensions.
So far more than 500 people have provided feedback on the CAT services via the My Say Transport website, with eight in 10 passengers saying they were satisfied or very satisfied with the existing services. The survey is open until January 31.

Thanks Shinji - the description on the TP website that "Selected trips will extend to Fremantle Station via Bicton on school days. This will improve school travel to from East Fremantle, Bicton and Attadale to Melville Senior High School" left me a tad confused.shinjiman wrote: Normal route to Booragoon, then continue via Route 160 until Davy Street, then R North Lake Road, L Canning Highway, R Hislop Road, continue via route 148/158 to Fremantle.
I was confused too until the school bus changes stated the Booragoon Bus Station to Melville SHS service would connect with the 500 extension. As an ex teacher at Applecross SHS, the extension will save some students having to race up/down the hill to make the 158 busMerc1107 wrote:Thanks Shinji - the description on the TP website that "Selected trips will extend to Fremantle Station via Bicton on school days.

It will be interesting to see how busy the extension gets.
The timetable was uploaded onto Transperth website.Frederick wrote:With regards to 425 service changes:
The timetable shows services almost every 10 minutes from Stirling, 6:04 - 7:24 am, Monday to Saturday (more frequent I think than even the 950 on Saturdays), which is curious. I wonder what's taking place at Karrinyup (compared to other shopping centres too).
Sure but it’s TransPerth’s responsibility to make sure that the corresponding website is updated when sending email alert updates that’s not something that’s entirely in my control and it’s not the first time this has happened eitherMr OC Benz wrote:Moderator note: When posting information regarding service changes, please provide web links to the original source.
You are still required to reference a source as per the Board Guidelines. If there is no web link, please state where the information is sourced from.

No one is trying to "militantly" enforce the rules. It should be common sense that if you are going to post any content which is not of your own creation (such as information, photos etc), that you credit or reference the original author/creator. In this case, I actually tried to search for the information on the web but alas I could not find anything and since two of the posts above did not have any reference to where the information was found, naturally I (and others I'm sure) would be rightfully curious about where it came from (or in this case, which method). Stating that it came from an email alert in the initial post would have removed any doubt. As this thread should be purely for service change discussion, please contact me via PM if you would like to discuss the matter further.TP1462 wrote:Requirement? Firstly I’m well aware of the forum guidelines and I don’t mean to come across as rude but I’ve never come across a forum where the rules are so militantly enforced also secondly I’m certain that 99% of forum members are intelligent enough to figure out where a source has come from without it needing to be unnecessarily “verified” and thirdly no wonder why visitors numbers are dwindling maybe it’s the moderators that have an issue with misinterpreting information, no reason to shoot the messenger every time they don’t comply with the “rules”
