WA's $4 billion public transport overhaul comes amid patronage slide as commuters stick to cars

WA is in the middle of a $4 billion spending splurge on public transport, but commuters are increasingly turning away from buses and trains and choosing cars as the fastest, and cheapest, way to get around Perth.

Key points:

  • Public transport patronage has declined in Perth since the end of the mining boom
  • Commuters complain buses and trains take longer and are pricier than cars
  • Experts say billions spent on new roads discourage public transport use
The State Government has committed to spending billions on its Metronet project over the next few years even though patronage on public transport has declined year-on-year since 2014-15.
