[edit]

Roe Street bus station opened on 12 January 2014, as a temporary replacement for the closed Wellington Street bus station.[1] Most services transferred to this station, while others were transferred to Esplanade Busport.[2][3][4] A second temporary bus station was also constructed on Wellington Street to handle displaced services.[5] It had 12 stands and was used by 25 Transperth routes.[6] It closed on 17 July 2016 when Perth Busport began operating.[7][8]
