Perth Busport is an underground bus station that is located underneath Wellington Street, Perth, Western Australia. It was officially opened by Colin Barnett (the Premier of Western Australia) and Dean Nalder (the state Minister for Transport) on 13 July 2016.
Perth Busport is located underground, west of Perth railway station, between Wellington, Roe Street and Milligan streets. There are two bus access points, from Wellington Street and Milligan Street, and three passenger entrances, at Yagan Square, Queen Street, and King Street. The underground lounge is air-conditioned, contains 160 seats, two kiosks, and digital screens displaying updated departure information. Buses loop around the lounge, which is surrounded by double-glazed glass, and has sixteen stands grouped into four areas, each with four stands.
Perth Busport started operating on 17 July 2016, served by 25 Transperth routes operated by Path Transit, Swan Transit and Transdev WA. The temporary Roe Street bus station closed on the same day as it opened.
In November 2016, Transperth announced changes to some bus network, including that from 4 December the following services would terminate at Perth Busport:
34 bus services start and terminate at Perth Busport. The busport uses a dynamic stand allocation system, meaning that services are only allocated a specific stand as they approach the busport.
