    Will there be pa announcements regarding the bus stands - doesn't seem very friendly for vision impaired people to me. And as someone else posted, a tunnel to the station would have made sense to me.

      there is a tunnel to the station

      No there isn't a tunnel. Access to the bus lounge area is from street level only. There is no underground link to Perth Underground or to the city.
      The two tunnels are only for the buses. There are no tunnels for pedestrians.
      Did you actually watch the video? LOL

      9 years on and it all works fine. There’s TransPerth staff there all the time actively assisting people, and they’re actually very attentive if you look lost or overwhelmed, elderly or just need assistance they approach you. A lot of them can tell you which bus to get on just by you naming the suburb and street you need to get to

    Looks great...Hopefully they use modem escalators like they do at BHP (when not used for a certain period of time they slow right down until someone comes) so they do not break down as often as the current escalators used by Transperth.

    Could you please please upgrade the buses so that I can pay with my phone or card with tap and go. So frustrating when I lose my Transperth card and don't have any cash on me. To not take card is pretty old school. Next step has to be electric buses too surely?

    I think this system will be very unfriendly for users with walking and reading disabilities. Also, why isn't there a direct underground link to the Perth train stations? I would have thought underground access to the Perth Underground and old Perth stations would be considered a basic requirement.

      I agree with everything you wrote.
      In addition to be a disadvantage to people with a disability that makes reading difficult, it could also be confusing for tourists and new immigrants.
      (From memory) I believe that the video showed one lift/ elevator and lots of escalators. What about a ramp that connects the ground level to the underground terminal? The lift will be heavily used with prams and wheelchairs, there should be an alternative. I personally don't like escalators as I once had a near miss while traveling down a set.

      ***** Dynamic bus stations have been successfully used all over the world and they're great. There's really nothing to worry about. Connecting to Underground would be great though.

      +Jennifer Claire Can you imagine how efficient it'd be though? Those with walking/reading disabilities are a tiny minority....It's definitely a net gain. Pure commonsense

      Tunnelling under buildings and roads isn't simply digging holes in the ground. There are considerable structural and civil factors to take into consideration. Will the depth at which we tunnel support the compressive stresses of the buildings above? Could we allow constant traffic to drive over the site? Perhaps the engineers proposed blocking William/Wellington and it was logistically difficult given other projects going on at the time such as the Elizabeth Quay. Maybe we would have had more trouble building it than what we would gain having it. Maybe they've left it for another time, who knows?
      Elevators were shown in the video. Not sure how that would be unfriendly. As for getting on the bus, the suspension of the bus under the entrance lowers with a ramp. This is present on most buses.
      In terms of reading disabilities, it's pure speculation to suggest whether or not intercoms or an induction loop would be present. It's fairly simple to implement and may not necessitate attention in a 4 minute video.

    They actually got them accurately like the animation! (but not the screen part)

    PS and have bigger/faster lifts for disabled and prams...the ones in the newish Perth train stations are terrible.

    I dont think ppl use buses that much compared to the money to construct this design... It would be better to run more buses on weekend... Just this is mu opinion.. No offense...
