We are seeking your feedback on proposed changes to Route 254 in Byford.

It is proposed that Route 254 be realigned to improve access for residents in the area.

Suggested changes would see the service operate via Gallipoli Av and Tourmaline Blvd instead of the current route via Doley Rd and Abernethy Rd. New bus stop locations would be assessed as part of this change.

Current frequency and operating hours would remain unchanged.

Just seen from the Transperth website, there's some minor time changes and temporary route changes for the route 228 and 229. Also there's minor adjustments how the route termini are being shown, as they're now shown in the green colour, or the aqua colour for the high frequency routes and regional routes.
Transperth website wrote: Routes 228 and 229 - Time Changes

Sun 10 Apr

From Sunday 10 April, routes 228 and 229 will undergo time changes in advance of works near Maddington Station.

Once the works commence services will undergo a temporary route change. This is expected to occur in late April.

Please note that if you pick up a printed timetable the map will be of the new route, this won't come into effect until the works begin.

Didn't realise those services existed. Surprised at how basic the service levels are for an area whose demographics would surely warrant something a tad more usable (especially on weekends!); unless I'm missing more frequent, more direct trips operating in the vicinity?

Not missing anything, the Armadale Line feeders tend to be less frequent than those on the Joondalup/Mandurah lines and have been for quite some time - just look at the 229/230 below (from 2006) or worse still this timetable from 1985 (185 is similar to the 228, 221 is the closest there was to today's 229). There were some much-needed upgrades in the early-mid 2010s (many of these routes especially in Kelmscott/Armadale didn't even meet the 20-minute "acceptable" peak frequency until then) but Sunday services in particular could be much better. If only the government was willing to actually fund more bus services, and not just those serving the Metronet extensions....

Thank-you Traklink for sharing and linking to those timetables. It certainly seems much of the East and South-Eastern parts of the network have languished without much (if any) improvements for a long time. A lot of services out that way also have a dizzying array of deviations, shortened or extended workings, which begin to challenge my skills with a timetable!

Not only that, but enough funding to capture new developments, on top of improving existing services. Every day the sprawl continues, but the services expansion lags behind (sometimes by years).

As much as the 900-series routes are important, and likely deliver the best bang for buck when they are improved, these services seem to siphon expansion funding away from other areas in the present environment. The 950 is one example - where a lot of funding went into running short trips (up to a bus every 1-3mins along some sections!) when more focus should have been put on properly utilising a growing fleet of modern, accessible articulated buses, and using the excess resources elsewhere. Thankfully that has finally happened in the past 3-4 years, but it certainly took long enough.

Mandurah Line Train Replacement bus service now serving Fiona Stanley Hospital from 3rd April.
From Sunday 3 April, Mandurah Line Train Replacement Route 909 will now operate via Fiona Stanley Hospital in both directions.

Train Replacement Route 909 will continue to operate when the Mandurah Line is closed.

This route change has been made in response to positive passenger feedback after the Mandurah Line Shutdown.

Some of the original 900 series routes were downgraded like the old 920 and 940 due to declining demand, while 106, 37, 870 and 501 were upgraded.

The reason for the change to Timetable 89 is a minor route change in Kenwick (due to upcoming roadworks in Kelvin Rd) which also affects the 204 205 228 and 229. This has resulted in minor changes (mostly to timed stops) for trips that access the Kenwick area.

PerthNow wrote: CATS back in Fremantle
Matt Zis
PerthNow - Cockburn
March 10, 2022 3:30AM

The City of Fremantle is set to bring back the mothballed Red CAT as part of a new five-year commitment to free public transport options for locals and visitors alike.

The Red CAT service, which existed to connect Fremantle attractions like the WA Maritime Museum, Round House and Fremantle Arts Centre, was shelved in June 2020 in response to the effects of COVID-19.

But its return would be welcomed by a host of new hospitality venues in the district, with stops at Gage Roads and Sunshine Harvester Works and another not far from the Walyalup Koort district encompassing Varsity Bar, Holey Moley and Strike Bowling.

The council’s finance, police, operations and legislation committee was due to meet on Wednesday night to consider the CAT bus review outcomes and plot the next phase, including a new five-year deal with the Public Transport Authority.

Council officers have recommended the return of the Red CAT, to run every 15-20 minutes, and for the continuation of the Blue Cat service that loops between Fremantle train station and South Fremantle via Marine Terrace and South Terrace.

That bus is used by cafe diners and Notre Dame university students and to a lesser extent train commuters and tourists.

At its pre-COVID-19 peak a Blue Cat bus ran every 10 minutes but its schedule was halved as part of the pandemic response, and it is likely to stay that way.

The future of the services remain contingent on council funding of about $535,000 per annum, which is 60 per cent of the total bill.

Council officers looked at introducing a special area rate — where businesses that benefit from CAT bus users could pay higher rates to reduce the half-million-dollar ratepayer bill — but did not recommend it.

They say paid parking in Marine Parade and Ord Street along the Blue CAT route could help the council recoup $135,000 each year.

A Blue CAT extension beyond South Fremantle to North Coogee was considered but deemed unfeasible.
This Report from City of Fremantle's Strategic Planning and Transport Committee (see Page 25 onwards) gives some idea as to what was considered, and produced the following recommendations:
Fremantle's Strategic Planning and Transport Committee wrote: This report considers the findings of the review and, in summary, recommends that Council:
1. Reaffirm the value and strategic alignment of the service.
2. Note the conclusions of the review.
3. Acknowledge that the opportunity cost of the CAT when weighed against other budget demands represents the key consideration point in reviewing the service at this time.
4. Continue the current suspension / reduced service level for a further financial year whilst:
  • consultation occurs with landowners within 400m of the service routes regarding their preparedness to contribute through a Specified Area Rate a proportion (between 10 and 25%) of the City’s cost of the service; and
  • Council further considers its budget priorities; with a view to reintroducing either the full (pre-June 2020) service or a reduced frequency (15-20 minute) service on both Blue and Red CAT routes under a renewed agreement with the PTA in 22/23.
Data available in the tender for Fremantle & Rockingham (see Tenders WA) shows Fremantle CAT patronage around 1.019mil p.a. in 2011-2012, dropping to 826,960 p.a. by 2018-19 (noting that the drop came in the years following 2014-15 as W.A.'s economy slowed).

Frankly, I think it would be far better value for money to consider the implementation of a Free Transit Zone around Fremantle - most Fremantle buses run all week, offer good frequency, good span (or both), many services already duplicate the CATs, and those that don't are well within 500m of a high frequency stop. A series of other suggestions, in no particular order:
  • Extend selected trips on the 910, 915, or both services to the Maritime Museum and/or the Esplanade Hotel
  • To replace the Blue CAT along South Tce., revisions to the 530-532 and 549 to create a high frequency service to Cockburn via Rockingham Rd and Beeliar Dr (with the other reformed services remaining on Hampton Rd)
  • Additional stops on the CircleRoute along South Tce
  • Improving the journey times in and around Fremantle for bus passengers with further priority measures, or even bus-only streets (the Cappuccino Strip comes to mind)
  • Improving bus shelters to something more attractive, and impervious to the elements than what is presently in use
We'll see what happens - I wonder what (if any) effect a potential change in operator will have on resumption of the Fremantle CAT in its prior form, and, if the service does return to normal, whether the old problem with overcrowding on the Blues will present itself again?

If they are only going to run the service every 20 mins, why not just go back to the single Fremantle CAT service and do away with the Red/Blue routes? Or abolish the CATS and just use the normal services with perhaps Market St/South Tce being an FTZ (says me who would love to see the Perth FTZ abolished).
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Before COVID it was not uncommon for passengers to ride from Fremantle Stn or Market St all the way round to Notre Dame (for example) when they could have walked and saved the full loads on the Blues. So doing it the old way might cause more problems than it solves.

On quiet days it was impossible for the Red to keep to the 15min frequency. Returning that at a 20min frequency would reflect the time it actually takes to do that lap - although with diminished benefit given the Woolstores Shops have now been reduced to rubble, and uncertainty as to when the sailing Petri Dishes will return with their crowds for the Red.

You wanted to see the Perth FTZ abolished but over the years it was expanded to cover areas as far afield as Leederville and UWA.

As for Freo, I had previously suggested a FTZ surrounded by the Swan River to the north, Ord Street to the east and South Street to the south. Effectively, this means the Freo CATs can be defunded and given to private operators like the Cott Beach CAT.

Not quite. The Perth FTZ boundaries haven't changed. All that has happened over the years is that the free CAT service has extended beyond the current FTZ boundaries but any other service along those CAT routes that operate outside of the FTZ still requires a ticket.

An interesting suggestion. With Claremont soon to receive double the number of trains, I wonder if the 102 wouldn't have a special Summer Timetable implemented to run extra services for beachgoers?

Well, I'd no longer be taking 950 from PCH to EQBS anymore now that Purple CAT is in service. Also, why should I pay to ride the train between EQ and Leederville during weekdays when the Green CAT is operational.

We're seeking your feedback on proposed changes to Route 471 in Burns Beach.

Route 471 is proposed to be rerouted onto its long-term alignment through Burns Beach which had been planned in consultation with the Local Government Authority. The service has been operating on a temporary alignment awaiting the completion of the local road network.

The suggested changes would involve removing the service from Whitehaven Avenue, Burns Beach Road and Ocean Parade. Instead, all trips would continue on Grand Ocean Entrance, Seabreeze Avenue and Burleigh Drive to the new terminus at Fingal Loop.

The current frequency and operating hours would remain
