Our monthly meeting is held on the first Wednesday of each month (Feb - Dec) at 7.30pm upstairs at the Hellenic Club in Matilda St, Phillip.

Membership is free and new members are always very welcome. Contact us at info@wvcc.org.au or Ph 0420 529 747

Adelaide Avenue Bus Stops Study

Article posted on Friday 09 March 2012 | Add your comment

WVCC has concerns about the increased trip times on the Blue Rapid service - a solution may be to split it into an Express (like the former Intertown 333 service) and a Semi-Fast service making more stops. Increases on service on Route 2 through Curtin would improve the viability of the new stops. A new stop at Parliament House would also be of benefit.
