History
Perth Busport commenced operations 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 the new busport opened.{{cite web |title=July 2016 Bus Service Changes |url=http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Service-Updates/Service-Update-Details/opening-of-perth-busport-and-changes-across-the-bus-network-23568 |access-date=17 June 2016 |publisher=Transperth |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160629104105/http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Service-Updates/Service-Update-Details/opening-of-perth-busport-and-changes-across-the-bus-network-23568 |archive-date=29 June 2016 |url-status=dead}} Perth Busport occupies the site of the former Wellington Street bus station.
Bus routes
34 regular Transperth 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.{{Cite web|url=http://smarttransportwa.wa.gov.au/new-underground-wellington-street-bus-port/|access-date=18 July 2016|title=New Underground Wellington Street Bus Port|website=Smart Transport|publisher=Government of Western Australia|date=2 March 2016|archive-date=21 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160721045130/http://smarttransportwa.wa.gov.au/new-underground-wellington-street-bus-port/|url-status=live}} Rail replacement bus services for the Yanchep, Mandurah, Fremantle, Midland and Armadale railway lines also start and terminate at Perth Busport when the lines cannot operate from Perth Station, departing from stands 5-8.
