(1) $3.47.
(2) Yes
(3) - (4) Transperth has no plans to cut or reduce bus service kilometres across the metropolitan network. The Liberal-National State Government has actually increased Transperth's annualised bus service kilometres by over 12 million since 2008. This is in contrast to Labor's poor record of only 3.9m kilometres over 2 terms.
