TRANSPERTH — BUS SERVICES
I refer to Transperth’s service development plan. (1) According to this plan, how many new fast-growing suburbs have an identified need for bus service improvements? (2) Will the minister provide a list of these suburbs; and, if not, why not? (3) Using the distance of 500 metres as a guide to the reasonable distance passengers in the metropolitan area could be expected to walk to access public transport, in how many suburbs of Perth are passengers required to walk a longer distance to access public transport? The minister might note that those words are similar to some words that he wrote in a letter to a committee. (4) Will the minister list these suburbs? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN
