About the Esplanade Bus depot (comments by my W.A. Host) Sadly accessing the venue is not as smooth and efficient as we like.... The bus depot has drop of Bays at the front for taxi and authorised vehicles but most taxi do not know this so they drop you off in the street and it's a long walk. If you are driven to the depo .. there is no "drop off" bays for the Public, if you drive inside to the undercover car park a minimum fee will apply and when you are in the (undercover) car park there are no signs to indicate where the bus depo is so you may end up with a long walk.

From our experience 1.The telephone service support is very good. The lady that answered our queries on the weekend was extremely helpful 2.Their website has a downloadable pdf of the schedules - the pdf is a little confusing a. some columns are timetables for student buses but is does not explain this b. it does not explain which bus terminal in Perth will be the departure so you should call them 3. You should pre book your ticket to ensure you have a seat - while on the phone confirm which Bus Depo.
