Bus consultation open for Morley-Ellenbrook Line
Communities in Perth's north-east will see an increase in bus services, with the opening of the Morley-Ellenbrook Line later this year.
In support of the new train line, 88 additional buses will be brought into service, equating to an additional five million bus service kilometres every year.
This increase will result in more frequent services, improved operating hours and greater coverage across the community.
The Public Transport Authority has today released its proposed bus network to support the five new train stations being built in Ellenbrook, Whiteman Park, Ballajura, Noranda and Morley.
The proposed bus services include new routes, while some existing routes will be changed or replaced.
Community feedback is being sought on the proposed bus services which will see improvements in general frequency and operating hours across the north-eastern suburbs.
The proposed bus network will also see:
- expansion of bus services into newly-developed areas in Aveley, Brabham, Dayton and Ellenbrook;
- high-frequency services connecting the new Morley Station and current Morley Bus Station, which will be renamed to Galleria Bus Station; and
- improved cross-regional links between the Ellenbrook, Yanchep and Midland Lines.
The community can provide feedback at www.mysaytransport.wa.gov.au. The consultation period closes 15 September 2024.
Timetables for train services and the supporting bus network for surrounding suburbs will be made available before passenger services start on the new train line.
