Perth Busport
Underground central bus station in Perth, Western Australia
Perth Busport is an underground central bus station in Perth, Western Australia, located underneath Wellington Street. It was officially opened by then-Premier of Western Australia Colin Barnett and then Minister for Transport Dean Nalder on 13 July 2016.
01Description
Perth Busport is located underground, west of Perth railway station, between Wellington, Roe Street and Milligan streets. There are two bus access points, from Wellington Street and Milligan Street, and three passenger entrances, at Yagan Square, Queen Street, and King Street. Edith Cowan University's multi-storey inner city campus, ECU City, is located directly above the Yagan Square passenger entrance.
The underground lounge is air-conditioned, contains 160 seats, two kiosks, and digital screens displaying updated departure information. Buses loop around the lounge, which is surrounded by double-glazed glass, and has sixteen stands grouped into four areas, each with four stands.
02History
Perth Busport commenced operations on 17 July 2016, served by 25 Transperth routes operated by Path Transit, Swan Transit and Transdev WA. The temporary Roe Street bus station closed on the same day as the new busport opened. Perth Busport occupies the site of the former Wellington Street bus station.
03Bus routes
34 regular Transperth bus services start and terminate at Perth Busport. The busport uses a dynamic stand allocation system, meaning that services are only allocated a specific stand as they approach the busport. Rail replacement bus services for the Yanchep, Mandurah, Fremantle, Midland and Armadale railway lines also start and terminate at Perth Busport when the lines cannot operate from Perth Station, departing from stands 5-8.
