TransBroome Bus Service

Broome Regional Town Bus Service (RTBS), operating under the brand name Transbroome, plays an important role in connecting the town. The buses are similar to those used by Transperth, featuring a modern green and silver livery and low-floor designs for easy accessibility.

From 5 July, we’ll be introducing more buses, more bus stops and more ways to pay.

You can pay with your bank card or digital wallet. Just hold your payment method near the validator to tag on and tag off. Go to Transperth’s Contactless Payments for more information.

Cash

Are TransBroome bus services accessible?

All buses that operate on our bus network are fully accessible. These buses can kneel to the kerb, lowering the step to make it easier for passengers to board and having built-in ramps that can extend to the kerb for those who need it, including passengers with wheelchairs, prams or mobility devices.

Each accessible bus has fold-up chairs with space for two wheelchairs, prams or mobility devices. While all Transregional bus routes are serviced by fully accessible buses, not every bus stop on the network is accessible.
