(1) Are there any
plans to upgrade facilities at the Albany terminus to accommodate passengers in

minister provide statistics on how often the Transwa service from Albany to
Perth has broken down in the period from 1 July 2020 to date and the delays
these breakdowns resulted in?

minister have any plans to improve the reliability of Transwa bus services in
regional areas?
