I refer to the Minister's letter dated 22 November 2013 regarding the cancellation of the No. 21 bus route through Embleton, and I ask: (a) how many submissions did the Department receive from the public opposing the cancellation of the Transperth Nos. 21 and 22 route bus services; (b) how many people attended the consultations which were held at the Centro Galleria Morley on 29 August 2013, and also on Saturday, 31 August 2013, respectively; and (c) has the Minister considered requests by affected residents to retain a limited No. 21 bus service during peak service periods, and if so, can residents expect the Department of Transport to respond favourably to these requests?
