Re: 50 years of integrated ticketing
Travelling between Rockingham and Cannington required us to go via Perth CBD in the past, making it a 5-zone ticket. However, now we can get the 507 from Bull Creek which travels entirely in Zone 2. Isn't that we used to had the bus route 155 so we can travel by route 116 then 155 and transfer at B...

Re: PTA / Transperth Service Changes 2024
The new timetable omits the 09:14 trip, and instead shows only the 09:19 trip. The same is true of the interactive timetable on the Transperth website :? I think that's a mistake on the website - checking the pdf timetable there is an additional trip, but I'd say it's actually the current 08:45 tri...

Re: PTA / Transperth Service Changes 2024
It appears there are some improvements to the Ferry service next month , in that the Summer timetable will start earlier than planned on 1st September (previously it was to be 15th September) and will run until the end of the July 2025 school holidays (instead of early June). Interestingly the earli...

Re: 50 years of integrated ticketing
The old zone boundaries (before November 2007) also had more "flex" to them to try and address that problem. Two examples that I could find on old timetables: Heading south from Fremantle, bus routes to Coolbellup (141, 144 and 145) were considered to travel entirely in Zone 2. However rou...

50 years of integrated ticketing
On 4th August, 1974 the MTT introduced a radical new fare system based on zones centred on the Perth CBD, largely replacing the old section-based bus fares. Critically, it also brought Perth's suburban trains under the same system - marking one of the most significant early steps towards the integra...

Re: PTA / Transperth Service Changes 2024
What is the current peak frequency of 940 like? In the afternoon departing Elizabeth Quay, it's currently every 7-8 minutes between 3:15pm and 5:53pm, increasing to every 6 minutes for an hour between 4:23pm and 5:23pm. In the new timetable it's every 10 minutes until 3:48pm, then every 7-8 minutes...

Re: Post-COVID Patronage Rebound
Time will tell, but I think it has every right to continue growing for a few years purely off the back of all the new lines being built (and the Armadale/Thornlie Line returning to service).

Re: PTA / Transperth Service Changes 2024
It looks like the generic "additional trips" with no further detail are there mainly to improve both the overall span of hours, and (in the case of the 900-series routes) the span of the 15-minute frequent service. On the further cuts to the Airport Line feeders, the 12-minute afternoon pe...

Re: WA Transport General Discussion & Questions
In possibly the most surprising railway observation of the year, a 6-car A series ran in service to Yanchep today in the evening peak.
Unfortunately I didn't catch the set numbers.

Re: PTA / Transperth Service Changes 2024
Looking at the train timetables I don't think there's a single service on the Yanchep/Mandurah Line that remains untouched. While off-peak frequencies unfortunately haven't really been changed there are still a few solid improvements. Extensive time changes, even on trips that haven't been retimed ...
