Curtin University staff and students can rest easy knowing they can transport to and from campus for free thanks to the Curtin Access Bus Service (CABS).
The free CABS initiative, powered by Perth’s leading bus and charter company, Horizons West, provides a safe, affordable and convenient way for the community to travel between Curtin University’s Bentley Campus, Technology Park and surrounding suburbs including Waterford, Bentley, Victoria Park and South Perth.
The complimentary buses operate Monday through Friday during normal semester weeks and can be hailed at any point along their designated routes.
“We are committed to providing services that better connect communities, combining our world-class experience, innovation, network planning and customer service to deliver local transport services people want to use,” Horizons West genreral manager James Turner says.
“We’re thrilled to continue our successful partnership with Curtin University for the ninth year running and to continue making a positive impact in the community with accessible transport solutions.
“We know public transport is the most sustainable transport solution, so we look forward to welcoming more passengers onboard.”
Almost one million customer journeys will be completed each year with CABS five dedicated buses.
Through the Curtin CABS app, passengers can access live GPS bus tracking, route mapping, and access to timetables, enhancing the passenger experience through user-friendly and reliable service information.
“Curtin University is committed to providing a sustainable, safe and accessible campus environment for students and staff; the CABS service is a great example of this commitment in action,” Curtin University’s operations and maintenance director Tamara Mahes says.
“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Horizons West to offer a free and convenient way for the Curtin community to travel.”
