Staying Informed: Service Changes and Disruptions
The community's needs are constantly evolving, which means Transperth regulary reviews and adjusts public and school bus routes across the Transperth network. These adjustments are essential to ensure Transperth continues to provide high quality public transport for students and the wider community.
