The 507 has been a 15 minute service for a number of years.

I've been on 51 and it seems poorly utilised. Surprised it's getting possible improvements.
From what I've seen it gets good usage during peak periods.

Some of us used to call 747 "Jumbo" and 737 "Jumbo Jr.", so I think those names for 2787 and 2380 are more than acceptable :) We used to refer to 747 as the Jumbo during my days at Palmyra (now Transdev Fremantle). It had a nifty mural which looked like the skin was peeled off a...

Re: Transperth Bus Fleet by Depot / Region

248? That would be 528 after some amendment to Piara Waters area and renumbering. Just curious - do you have any data/facts to back this up or is this speculation? (genuine question) Having a link to Kelmscott would give the locals more options where public transport is concerned. I don't think the...

School changes are linked within the notice quoted below, nothing particularly remarkable, beyond the long-standing 777 School Special being converted into a trip on the 512 (fitting in with the extension of this route into Fremantle) That's been a trend for a few years now - the list of dedicated ...

The route 449 is operated by Path Transit instead of Swan Transit, most likely it's done by Malaga depot.

Re: List of Perth Bus Routes by Contractor

Lots of changes now that Airport Line is open. And to the airport line routes themself after only 3 months of operation. I wasn't aware of the new Piara Waters High School opening - that makes for some interesting changes in the region. It goes to show how dynamic our public transport system is.

Nooo, we were talking about contract areas, not depot 25 year old depot names. The 223 is in the Canning contract area which means it could be operated by Southern River, Canning Vale or Beckenham depots.
