  • Elizabeth Quay
    CASE STUDY Services excel at Elizabeth Quay The opening of the long-awaited Elizabeth Quay on January 31 introduced not only a new entertainment precinct for Perth, but also a central landmark for locals and visitors to move around the city and beyond� Alongside the buzz of activity that attracted record crowds to the quay over the last months of summer, Transperth was on board to provide a smart and fully-integrated public transport service for passengers. Coinciding with the opening of the fully-accessible Elizabeth Quay jetty, the ferry summer timetable was revised to provide 478 trips in the week (previously 322). The extra services and crowds saw a boom in ferry travel and, in the quay’s first week alone, there were more than 3700 passengers using the ferry each day – a 450 per cent increase on the same period of the previous year. Since the quay’s opening, ferry patronage has more than doubled. Due to demand, the Transperth ferry service has since been permanently expanded to continue providing passengers with a convenient way to travel to and from the city. To make the precinct even easier to locate, the positioning of Transperth services in the area included the renaming of Esplanade Station and Esplanade Busport to Elizabeth Quay Station and Elizabeth Quay Bus Station. A number of metropolitan bus services were also amended to better link to the destination. Convenient and identifiable public transport was key to the transformation of Elizabeth Quay. The overall enhancement has improved access, connectivity and convenience; and reduced the amount of walking people need to do from one service to the other.

    TAXI LOG by Richard Cantwell 27 Driscoll Way Morley W.A. 6062 (09) 3759403 Dedicated to Geoffrey Rees Cantwell Gone in body, here in Spirit. I was awaken a few times during the night by Phillip who hadn’t settled since coming home from hospital and recovering from his diagnosed disease of Meningitis. He was born at 11.55 PM on 26Th July 1989 during a sudden blackout and now it was Tuesday 26 Th March 1991. Marlene felt it more than I, she seemed to never sleep and was having dizzy spells. I left home on the push bike at 4.10 AM against a cool breeze from Morley to Mount Hawthorn about 10 kilometres to pick up the taxi that I left in a group with other taxis for almost five years, driving five shifts a week. Other drivers were rostered to drive at other times. It was cold sometimes riding the bike in winter in a stupor, the hands became numb but I could smell the gum trees as I passed and the pine trees near the golf course, hearing the birds chattering in the trees and occasionally I would see the fox amongst the trees. I became an expert picking the weather as it was necessary to make a judgement on taking wet weather gear or not and the decision had to be correct. I became aware of the hills and slopes the coolest section of the journey, down in a lower section of Alexandra Drive opposite Yokine Reserve. As I rode the breaking of the peace was the occasional passing of a car that would drown the noise of the birds and drown the atmosphere with the smell of burnt fuel.
