The Public Transport Authority advises:
(1) Two
(2) One
(3) Specific data on routes operated by articulated buses is not maintained, however this number would be negligible.
(4) As per Question 3 above.
(5) 13 articulated buses will be delivered in 2011/2012. The Member would be aware, however, of the historic increased bus services being delivered by the Liberal-National Government after years of neglect by the former Labor Government. This Government is delivering the biggest boost to bus service kilometres in Western Australian in more than a decade, with an additional 15 million service kilometres and an extra 158 buses, significantly increasing the frequency of some routes.
