1-5.      The Fremantle CAT was terminated following the withdrawal of funding for the ser-vice by the City of Fremantle. The State redirected its contribution to the service to the improvement of the Route 532.
This has resulted in an increase in patronage on the Route 532 bus service of approximately 203 boardings per weekday from Fremantle, and 139 boardings per weekday towards Fremantle.
