I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. I provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(3) The Fremantle CAT bus was
terminated following the withdrawal of funding of the service by the City of
Fremantle. The state redirected its contribution to the service to the
improvement of route 532. This has resulted in an increase in patronage on the
route 532 bus service of approximately 203 boardings per weekday in Fremantle
and 139 boardings per weekday towards Fremantle.
