391142PD: A Transperth bus on the CircleRoute, 11 December 1997

Summary

The CircleRoute is a pair of circular limited stops bus routes operated by Transperth through Perth's inner suburbs. The CircleRoute was introduced in two stages. On 16 February 1998 the first stage of the CircleRoute commenced operating between Fremantle and Oats Street stations. On 22 February 1999, the route was extended to become a circular route. Route number 98 ran clockwise and route 99 ran anticlockwise around the circular route. The routes were renumbered from 98 and 99 to 998 and 999 on 31 January 2016, to signify being a part of Transperth's premium, high-frequency services. (Wikipedia 2019). Because this photograph was taken by a professional photographer in December 1997, it is probably for use in the publicity for the launch of the Circle Route. Bus number TP 1058 has new livery for the route.
