I'm surprised the 379 has lasted this long, tbh.

[shinjiman]

Seems a new route 353 is coming soon for that, running between Bessendean Station and Ellenbrook Transfer Station (future Henley Brook Bus Station) via Dayton and Brabham.

Seems the construction works of the Curtin Central Bus Station is finishing soon, and seems there's upcoming route changes along the Curtin University area.

Interesting they're adding another trip from Frederick Irwin Anglican School. Having rode on the 592 trip that commences at Frederick Irwin a number of times, it really wasn't busy enough to warrant another service, especially considering you were usually caught among a 'trio' of 592s. Wasn't even a full-standing load in the Renault artic at the time (and the new artics have a larger capacity).

Furthermore, some investigation I did of some of the school-specials in the area (e.g. the 737 to Falcon, among others) indicates these already serve much of the 592's territory and either commence or travel via Frederick Irwin. The 737, for example, runs down Old Coast Rd., then pick up the second half of the 592 after the timing point in Halls Head, before heading back up Old Coast Rd. into Falcon, another services Halls Head itself, etc.

Also note in Timetable 139 the services have not yet been noted as "Fully Accessible," with the specific "Deviations" noting non-accessible vehicles being retained.

[Mr OC Benz]

[Bus Suggestions]

Transperth Website for the full announcement.
The new Timetable 72 has some glitches, labelling the new 354 timetable as 'From Perth' and 'To Mirrabooka' while they are technically the same thing, and should be labelled as 'From Mirrabooka' and 'To Mirrabooka' because 354 doesn't run Perth-Mirrabooka.

They've put them into incorrect section as well. (They've swapped over the directions)

(Update: They've corrected those mentioned above)

So the stops 16449, 16450, 16451, 16459 and 16460 can be utilised again by route 354.

The network map had been updated for the route 354 as well.

Interesting too see the 177 extend to cannington. maybe this is related to removal of short service 220. TBH i find out that most of 220 drivers drive really slowly between cannington to vic park compare to 930 which sometimes faster. I know is because 930 use Shepperton but i feel most of 220 drive with a slow speed limit of 220 between vic park to cannington. and drive faster between beckenham to armadale. Maybe because of that short working not has enough passenger. IDK is this just experience or it is real.

TBH i think since relocated to Elizabeth Quay (from 2015 to Oct 2016) 220 patronage is quite decreasing especially since 930 run on feb 2016. Because they ran same route exept 220 run albany hwy and 930 Shepperton rd. and is really hard for 220 to get a patronage back

Also, i probably think they should make the new route of Bull creek - Cannington (via Rossmoyne) like change a bit of 509 route or at least short working 170 to Shelley terminated at Wilson or vice park to connect with another service better.

The Southern Suburbs changes are interesting.

Running the 115 all stops between Canning Bridge and Booragoon Bus Station is a logical step and will better connect Canning Hwy, Riseley Street and Booragoon together. It's probably a sign the patronage on the route perhaps isn't quite what it should be, however the service was limited stops in its heyday primarily because it was the premier trunk service that feeder buses at Booragoon connected with. Its very interesting to note (at present), that the 115 actually has more journey time on the timetable between Booragoon and the City than the 114 for comparable departure times.

However, despite the change, they've missed a vital opportunity to create a combined 15 minute frequency between the 114 & 115 on Saturdays between Booragoon and the City (and vice-versa). On the brighter side, they have done away with the 114 & 115 departing the city within two minutes of one another. On Sundays, the hourly 114 departure falls halfway between the two-hourly 115 services, so that's a step in the right direction.
Someone else pointed out to me elsewhere that the 'cuts' to the 115 aren't all bad - the 2330hrs Saturday night service has been deleted, with the resources going towards extending the operational hours on Sunday night.

I think sending the 910 to Perth Busport instead of Elizabeth Quay is a great idea - passengers will now have an easy way to make connections with northern bus services. Its a far better use of resources than the current setup, there are more than enough buses servicing Elizabeth Quay at present.

*Edit*
Also had a look at the timetable for the the 592-594 (Timetable 139). It looks as though they've simplified a number of the school deviations, by removing some of the "Non Accessible Trips" in the timetable at long last. Also noted they've cut back on a number of school-holidays only services, but maybe that was part of a previous change.

I think that the changes to the 170/76/77/79 could make the network more logical for people, with the sequential numbers. However, people may get confused with the terminating 178s.

I’m not sure about the reductions to the 111, especially in morning peak hours – it is quite busy at that time.

The 910 moving to Perth Busport may be useful for more connections between Northern and Southern services. The 910 is usually close to empty by the time it enters Elizabeth Quay, and few people get on there. If Elizabeth quay is over-serviced, perhaps in the future other bus services, especially the ones from the freeway, could go straight into the Busport.



It's great to see that Transperth is advertising that all bus services are accessible.

I also like the sequential numbers and that there's fewer of them. It's a far cry from the early '90s when there were 8 or 9 numbers (170 - 179 with some only on weekends).

Although to be fair, the early '90s had an even 15 min weekday offpeak weekday service down Dumond - now that's a lumpy 15-15-30 due to the 177 peeling off beforehand due to amalgamation with the old Route 10.

One thing missed was a redrawing of the map to show the 177s extending to Cannington. There's sufficient trips running to Cannington that it should have been shown.
