Buses in Perth city during peak hour - Transperth

In this video we see some buses in Perth's CBD during the afternoon peak. We start at the intersection of Williams Street & The Esplanade which is just outside Elizabeth Quay train station and busport. We then head to the intersection of Williams Street & St Georges Terrace where we spend most of the video. Just to make things more interesting a storm started brewing which brought some rain towards the end of the video.
We see a variety of different buses including Mercedes Benz O405NH's, OC500LE CNG's & Volvo B7RLE's with Volgren bodywork. These are all typical buses in Perth but we also see a couple of more interesting buses including an old Mercedes Benz O405, a Renault PR100.2 & PR180.2 and an Iveco Citelis 18 GNG; the only one in the Transperth bus fleet.
Date: 19th January 2016.

Watching this makes me tear up a little, as I used to go through the CBD every day in 2016 when I travelled from Rockingham to Joondalup to go to TAFE. I certainly miss those days so much, and watching this just takes me right back to those times.

[@Trainaddiction512]

Same, I remember my mom taking me to TAFE as I was like 3 years old

[@FelixExplores]

Definitely brings back the days. But times have changed and nearly all of this, the Transperth fleet has changed and been flushed out by volvos.

[@ArrowProds]

Congratulations for actually managing to capture 3002 IN SERVICE! 3002 is, while only 9 years old, now the most unreliable bus in the Transperth fleet. It spends most of its time sitting somewhere in Malaga Depot, refusing to start up. Noting that 3002 is the most unreliable bus, the 2nd most unreliable bus is 3000, the Scania L94UA CNG demonstrator, and the only CNG-Powered L94UA in the world.

I frequented the 406 a while ago, and they occasionally ran the 3001 and 3002 on that route during the school rush hours. The thing I remember about them was how dark and weird-smelling they were on the inside.

[@watransprotobservations]

I've been on 3001, MAN one of 2 bussss not using volgren chassis the least used bus that is not withdrawn

[@watransprotobservations]

@@ellwyn 3001 was quite dark

[@rogan177]

those renault’s are just so oldschool i love it

[@rogan177]

@lwf51 unfortunately they are, i miss them. remind me of my early childhood years

[@vandy5206]

It’s cool cuz in each bus are people that chose not to be driven around and are therefore saving the environment.

[@logos1.618]

Gotta love catching the bus here in Perth

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

If only I could say the same about catching the bus in Melbourne :'(

[@foxsakes1582]

Fantastic video! Love the sound of the Mercedes OC500le buses. My favourite.

[@turangaleela6912]

My toddler loves buses at the moment, this video is perfect, thank you!

[@truthregardless9235]

I miss Perth

[@Tysxno]

Ah the memories, and you can see the B7’s when they came into service too

[@jxrrqd8851]

5:51 3002 seebeesixtee is in service, wow

[@watransprotobservations]

What route

[@theytwatcher950]

Bus spotting - Must pull that up as a hobby one day after finishing school. I probably park my car somewhere and near the bus depot picture every bus coming

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

I don't know why, but I always loved Volgren body kits on buses.

[@ACDZ123]

So many busses in Perth

[@asianbigboi5513]

[@watransprotobservations]

Why did busses and Trains used to use capital on displays

[@watransprotobservations]

What route was 3002 doing in this video

[@watransprotobservations]

THE CITELIS 18 CNG

[@andrewsoseiseniorjesusisgo316]

Beautiful Australia

[@coffeetom5577]

Is that odd looking bendy bus at the end new or old?

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

#3002 was built in 2009. It's an Iveco Citelis 18 CNG and it's the only one in the Transperth bus fleet.

[@coffeetom5577]

ThebusofdoomFSX is it hey going to be more of them?

[@coffeetom5577]

Is there*

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

No, I assume it was just a one off, probably a demonstration unit. Transperth have been buying Volvo B7RLE's for the last couple of years and more recently, the B8RLE.

[@coffeetom5577]

ThebusofdoomFSX ok, thanks

[@davidpristupa1629]

I enjoyed the video. It sounds very loud and noisy however.
