History

Following the closure of the Perth trolleybus system in August 1969, the Western Australian Transport Museum was formed. In 1981, the Western Australian Transport Museum divided into two societies, the Bus Museum of Western Australia (BMWA) and the Perth Electric Tramway Society.[1] In 1982, the BPSWA found a permanent home in Whiteman Park.

The BPSWA operates a shuttle bus service from the Lord Street entrance to Whiteman Village in Whiteman Park during weekends.[2]

Fleet

The BPSWA owns a fleet of 35 buses, mainly ex Transperth and Western Australian Government Railways.[3]

Publication

The BPSWA publishes a quarterly periodical titled The Rattler.
