New bus routes for Esperance
The Esperance community will now be able enjoy a permanent town bus service; following a two-year trial.
The Public Transport Authority in conjunction with the Shire of Esperance introduced a trial service in July 2022 with the aim of improving public transport access to the town centre and surrounding suburbs.
The trial involved three new routes, operating three times a day on weekdays:
- Route 810 between Nulsen and Esperance;
- Route 811 between Castletown and Esperance; and
- Route 812 between West Beach and Esperance.
The local community provided feedback via online surveys and at community information sessions.
In 2023, there were over 100 responses to a survey seeking feedback on a six-month review, with overwhelming positive response about the services.
