The CircleRoute is a pair of circular limited stops bus routes operated by Transperth through Perth's inner suburbs.
History
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.[1][2][3] On 22 February 1999, the route was extended to become a circular route.[4][5] The routes were renumbered from 98 and 99 to 998 and 999 on 31 January 2016, as to signify being a part of Transperth's premium, high-frequency services.[6]
Fares
Since 25 November 2007, fares have been determined according to the same Transperth zonal system used by other bus routes and trains in the region; Prior to that date, the CircleRoute used its own distinct zones.[7]
Especially after the route was renumbered in 2016, SmartRider transaction records for registered Transperth users indicates 098T and 099F.
