The eastern terminus of the 38 appears weak. Is that a future airport extension, saved for if additional resources become available?
Getting from the Airport to East Vic Park, Curtin and the Armadale line is indirect and/or appears to require three buses. The abovementioned Oats St route would help a lot, with trips from most of the SE suburbs requiring just one change.
38 is unchanged aside from shifting from terminus at EQBS to BP, so it's likely they just didn't feel the route beyond the city needed changing.
Curtin would probably be 34/72 to Cannington, 280 to High Wycombe (which is running 294's route to Carousel from Hale Rd at Tonkin onwards), train to Airport. If they bring in an Oats-Airport bus, 999 to Oats, bus to Airport. You could also 999 to somewhere along Oats St, take 39 to Redcliffe and train into Airport from there.
East Vic Park would be either of the latter two methods of course.
Armadale Line would just depend on where. Again, from Cannington it's one bus plus a train, so depending on where you are along that line, you'd either get off at Oats and take one of the East Vic Park methods, or get off at Cannington, 280, train. Freo or Midland line would be easy of course, Joondalup line would be fine (get off at Perth and Airport Line in), but Mandurah you'd have to make a judgement call on whether to take Cockburn-Thornlie Line to get yourself into Cannington/Oats, or train into the city and Airport Line.
Going to be interesting either way.
