COLLIE–BUNBURY BUS SERVICE TRIAL
795. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to my question without
notice 365 of 7 May 2024 on the essential Collie to Bunbury bus service trial
that ended in January 2024, but has continued operating in a cloud of
uncertainty and an information vacuum.
(1) From the trial data, what modelling and/or
analysis has the Public Transport Authority undertaken in relation to
the provision of a dedicated bus service for Collie to Bunbury, including
required passenger numbers, costs of bus service provision and community value
tied to the provision of the service?
(2) Will the
minister table the data to the house and outline the decision-making criteria
or matrix applicable to delivering that permanent bus service?
(3) Will the
minister now commit to provide a dedicated public bus service for the residents
of Collie that will allow them to attend, amongst other areas, TAFE,
university, employment, social outings and vital medical appointments?
