PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2021

[Enviro 500]

2524 had a new transperth logo placement on the left side (like the bus that delivery post july 2019 or refurbished post july 2019). i not sure why

The Transperth and ‘Bus operated by’ decals all need to be moved further forward to avoid being partially obscured by advertising, or better still relocated to above the front entry door.

There’s really no benefit to having the ‘Bus operated by’ decals as on a fair % of the fleet, it’s covered by APN/JCD advertising.

In the old days of the white livery the operator logo was just atop the driver's window.

2309 has been refurbished and looks like it will be heading to TransKununurra as it has the TK decals attached to it.

Will 2123 stay at Kununurra or will move somewhere else?

1439, 1606, 2559, 2583, 2584, 2585, 2587 I've seen too

[Woolies_truck]

3121 & 3246 delivered to Fremantle

[komen_413]

There is another B8 parked at the back of Malaga depot that could be heading off for the CATs next.

I couldn't see the rego of it properly but the green stripe at the front where the Volvo badge is has been painted silver just like the other B8s in the CAT fleet.

B8 is 2777, got a closer glimpse today. The entire bus has been repainted silver but not yet in CAT livery.

[pasha241]

weird why they pick random 27x b8. if they want to pick 27x from path why not early number (2773 and 2774) or latest number (2786 and 2787) from their depot.

[Bus-1809]

The PTA make the decisions as to what buses move where. As to their method of deciding, well that's anyones guess...

The reason that 2777-2782 are going instead of 26xx/29xx vehicles is that PATH have an excess of vehicles because of the withdrawal of the 340 Route.

We gunzels have to remember that at the end of the day, a bus is just a bus to the PTA. Fleet numbers are simply a number in the system that says "this bus belongs to this contract, is at this depot and is operated by that bus company", hence why it doesn't matter what company has what bus...

[Enviro 500]

Route 340 is getting pulled, but many new routes are being introduced when Airport Line opens. Some resources from Morley may get shifted to Kalamunda.

[Woolies_truck]

We will likely see an influx of extra buses for the Kalamunda contract be delivered closer to the opening of FAL….

[pasha241]

2268 move to karrinyup i am not sure is is swap with 2075. Also is 2075 already at Rockingham or still at Karrinyup

Permanent I'd imagine, if it was only temporary I doubt they would have gone to the expense of re-wrappin/painting the entire bus, woulda made more sense to leave green and silver like the Joondy B8s

2075s at Rocky, and 2220 is back from refurb

I wonder if this is for the upcoming Purple Cat that serves PCH.

As for 2880 and 2881, I believe they will be redeployed once the BZLs enter service.

[Woolies_truck]

2778 was Transferred EX Path Transit Malaga to Transdev Perth CAT’s today.

[Zidanehartono]

1692 has the MO.
