This was
the result of a major review and an increase in the number
of services operated in Bunbury, an increase in service kilometres
in Busselton and the introduction of a subsidised road coach
service between Perth and Port Hedland on a six-month trial
basis.
The RTBS
fleet was increased from 137 to 145 buses.
Accessibility
RTBS continued its program to make its services accessible
to all sections of the community with 40.1% of service kilometres
being provided by accessible buses.
Satisfaction
A Passenger Satisfaction Survey for regional services was
conducted in the first half of 2004, but due to the low response
rate, no statistical conclusions could be drawn.
Ticketing
RTBS plans in 2005/06 to introduce the Wayfarer 3 MultiRider
ticketing system in all regional towns that currently have
an inferior ticketing system.
