 Seen in the Bus Preservation Society of WA's yard at Whiteman Park in October 2018 is Porter bodied Mercedes O305G 661. The reason for its blue livery is unknown as it appears to have passed from Transperth directly into preservation. Like many of BPSWA's buses it has been re-registered with a UOB series rego to mimic the state's UQB series.

 In contrast, we were kindly sent this pre entry into service picture of the latest articulated buses entering service in Perth. It is amongst the first of the Volvo B8RLEA models for the country and has been given the latest Volgren Optimus style bodywork.

Like ACT, Canberra, Perth's MTT - predecessor to Transperth - developed a liking for Renault buses. This PR180.2, 733 (UQB733), dating from 1989, is seen when about ten years old, followed by a Mercedes O305. Bodywork is by Bolton.
