Every time I visit the outdoor viewing area near Perth Airport, I find myself facing a daunting task. To get there using public transport, I must walk 2 kilometers alongside a busy road, with no footpath for safety and cars speeding by uncomfortably close. For someone who loves aviation and cherishes moments spent watching planes soar, this trek is not just inconvenient, but perilous.

Perth Airport Terminals 3 & 4 are hubs of activity, welcoming numerous visitors every day. Many, like me, are aviation enthusiasts who frequent the outdoor viewing area. However, the lack of a dedicated bus service linking these terminals to the viewing area creates a barrier, limiting access and posing safety risks due to the hazardous walk required.

Implementing a public bus route from the airport to the viewing area would not only improve accessibility but also enhance the overall experience for both locals and tourists. A bus service could run at regular intervals, aligning with peak flight times and providing a safe, reliable mode of transport that encourages more people to appreciate aviation activities.

In cities around the world, airports have recognized the benefits of such services, where public transit helps decongest roads, reduces environmental impacts, and supports local tourism. Perth Airport could join this progressive move by ensuring safe access for everyone wishing to visit its admired outdoor viewing area.

Additionally, this bus service would contribute to Perth’s public transport initiative, aligning with efforts to promote sustainable travel within the city. Statistics show that enhancing public transport infrastructure can lead to increased usage, reduced traffic congestion, and a decreased carbon footprint.

We urge the concerned authorities and the transport department to consider this request seriously. Let us transform our city’s approach to public transit by taking this simple yet significant step.
