Private Bus Companies And Depots Before Perth MTT?

[Denv12]

Who were the private bus companies in Perth before the MTT took over? And,where were their respective bus depots at the time? What did their fleets consist of?
I had posted a similar topic on Adelaide's private bus operators and their depots.
All information ,photos,etc welcome.Thank you.

Today's update:

There was definitely Scarborough Bus Service (SBS) and Kalamunda Bus Service, don't know much more than them. SBS I believe had their depot at what is now the corner of Brady St and Scarborough Beach Rd. 'SCARBOROUGH BUS SER' is still imprinted into the current building there. If you have the time, perthbus.info may have fleetlist information dating prior to MTT.

EDIT: Searched up and found this old thread. Had photos of the buses and the depot but it seems to be broken now. It does, however, confirm that the above location is the old depot.
