PTA / Transperth & Private Observations - 2022

Post by Zidanehartono »

Welcome to 2022!

The two-zone cap is now in effect which means that you'll pay no more than $4.90 (standard cash fare) even if you intend to travel through more than 2 zones. Other exciting stuffs for this year includes the trial of the Volvo BZL Electric Bus in the northern suburbs and the debut of the Forrestfield-Airport Link (Airport Line).

Thread Rules:
  • Please ensure the observations you are posting are of your own sightings.
  • Refrain from speculating, posting rumours or making uneducated assumptions. If any posts contain assumptions or opinions which cannot be 100% confirmed as fact, please clearly state this in your post.
  • A number of people are using http://www.perthbus.info as your "observation" source. Information from there is publicly accessible. It is not necessary to repost any information from there in this thread, unless of course it is something you wish to challenge for discussion on here (e.g. confirm accuracy, provide an update etc).
  • Insider information from other social media forums, especially 'private and restricted' groups is NOT publicly accessible and may contain sensitive information, therefore is NOT to be reposted here on Bus Australia under any circumstances.
  • Please limit photos posted in this thread to one good photo that supports your observation. Any additional photos should be posted in the photo section of the forum.
  • PTA / Transperth related observations should relate to sightings of unusual, unrecorded and interesting occurrences, such as buses out of their normal operating area or on routes that are unusual to be seen on.
  • Observations related to the actual bus such as fleet presentation (destination displays, advertising, bus defects/damage etc.) should not be posted in this thread, but be directed to the appropriate organisation if the issue is of concern.
  • Private observations may encompass any new or interesting bus sightings within the private bus scene in WA.

1671's having a sleepover at Gosnells Depot at the moment. Sighted last night, stowed in the Night Bays.

You mean an ex-Malaysian (possibly Rapid KL) CBC1627?

Pulled from storage, most likely.

Meanwhile, Singapore is retiring their €4 Scania KUBs even in the midst of the global AdBlue crisis.

By the sounds of it, Zidane means one of these: https://perthbus.info/report.php?vid=TC6508

And obviously yes to 1846, considering it was withdrawn back in July... :roll:

Cheers! :wink:
Officially the last person to tag off the 381 - 20/5/16.
Second last person to tag off the last timetabled 16 - 23/08/19.
Last person to tag off a Transdev Joondalup service - 19/1/20.

2309 in Kal? I thought Kal only takes in Swan buses now.

By the way, 1868 on 72 leaving EQBS.

Please be advised that, as per BCM buses in Singapore, contracted operators do not own and therefore do not have the final say in where they are redeployed.

1958 spotted on service running at Aubin Grove today, seems it's finally made the move North. Not sure if 1957 has followed yet.

Saw it this evening at Aubin Grove running 909’s, the QR code decals that were applied to the windows when it was up at Cats have been removed.

Today’s random sightings on rail goes to 2222 and 2241 both spotted running 909’s.
