In 1981, the Western Australian Transport Museum divided into two societies, the Bus Museum of Western Australia (BMWA) and the Perth Electric Tramway Society.[1] In 1982, the BPSWA found a permanent home in Whiteman Park.

The BPSWA operates a shuttle bus service from the Lord Street entrance to Whiteman Village in Whiteman Park.[2]

Fleet

The BPSWA owns a fleet of 35 buses, mainly ex Transperth and Western Australian Government Railways.[3]

Publication

The BPSWA publishes a quarterly periodical titled The Rattler.
