Reinstate Route 661 bus service in Perth
The issue
The reinstatement of the Route 661 bus service holds significant personal importance. The Route 661 served as a vital connection between the Perth CBD and Optus Stadium and was instrumental in providing an alternative to rail transportation. Its absence has been felt deeply, not only by those who relied on the service for convenience but also by local businesses and the broader community who benefited from the increased accessibility and traffic it brought to the area.
The push for reinstating this service is supported by a strong interest from both the community and stakeholders committed to improving direct public transport connectivity between Perth's CBD and its major event precincts, such as the upcoming Perth Race Track. We see this as an essential move especially during high-demand sporting and entertainment events. With Optus Stadium being a central hub for activities, the need for efficient and accessible transport solutions remains critical.
Research and statistics have continually shown that reducing congestion on roads, trains, and pedestrian crossings contributes significantly to a city's vibrancy and economic health. The Route 661 service would play a crucial role in mitigating these issues, providing a direct and efficient alternative mode of transport, and enhancing visitor experiences. This, in turn, boosts local economic activity, supporting hotels, restaurants, and businesses, all of which benefit from the increased presence and expenditure of visitors.
In conclusion, the reinstatement of the Route 661 bus service would not only improve transport efficiency but also enhance the overall visitor economy and attractiveness of Perth as a host to major events. We urge the relevant authorities to recognize the community's support for this initiative and to take action in bringing back this much-needed service.
