Am sure it was from green street off peak and took over route 44 to bayswater off peak running from green st, up walcott st, then continuing up through route 44s stretch t...

dave and espguy, was not trying to diss the operator intentionally, just the way im seeing things in my eyes. I understand Livingston is a growth area and Kalamunda has not grown in 15 years. Take the 343. that service gets into parts of Kewdale no other service does. Specially for those who work in...

Speaking of Swan Transit, why do they have booragoon route 555 services being operated by Southern River Depot? they have 3 depots closer, and the fuel they waste for a dead run to Booragoon surely can be saved and used on an extra service somewhere.

i agree strongly. the 343 has been made to look like a wasted service since the private operators took over. Path and SCT if anything have increased nearly all there services. take SCT, they streamlined there services but most have a better frequency than ever on nearly all routes with the exception...

yesi remember all of these well. Error noted. The 156 was never a freo service, it always departed from clontarf rd sth fremantle (otherwise known as fremantle depot) and followed the old 151 route as far as south street then hit the freeway. 119 /120 are now the high frequency 920 as much as the 15...

transperth Artics

Just curious, with the deletion of all merc 305's and i assume renaults and m.a.n are to follow, are they planning to replace the artics with some 405 artics or some .500 artics. Now living in Melbourne, i live close to the grendas depot and volgren factory and notice .405 artics and .500 artics in ...
