CircleRoute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CircleRoute is a pair of suburban bus routes in Perth, Western Australia. Like all Perth bus routes, the buses are branded Transperth and operated by companies contracted by the Public Transport Authority. The routes are identical except for direction: 98 is clockwise and 99 is anticlockwise. It runs through Perth's inner suburbs and connects Perth railway lines.

During peak hour times during study period on weekdays, additional buses are provided for larger capacities.

[edit] Zone boundaries

The Zone boundaries for the CircleRoute was different from the usual Transperth zonal system. Passengers travelling through more than 2 zones pay the 2-zone fare. However, this was changed at 25 November 2007.

[edit] Zone boundary changes

To make the CircleRoute zones more similar to the Transperth zonal system, the following changes were applied on April 6, 2006:

  • Remove the zone boundary at Stirling Train Station;
  • Add a zone boundary at the intersection of Karrinyup Rd and Main St;
  • Add a zone boundary at ECU Churchlands.

[edit] Removal of artificial zones

To make the consistency to the Transperth zonal syatems, the artificial zones on some routes including the CircleRoute will be removed on November 25, 2007.[1]

[edit] Bus Stops

The CircleRoute is a "limited service", which means that it only stops at bus stops with bus information. Each of these stops is a timed stop.
