Talk:Elizabeth Quay bus station

earlier comment

Its almost finished. They've painted the ugly concrete white. Where is the train station supposed to go? Spook 12:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

stands

I was thinking whether it would be better to put all the services by stands, then differentiate which companies own them by putting the route number in colour... otherwise, this whole thing will be a mess of stand lists. Sandstorm6299 15:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Just reorganised the stand lists by bus stands, is that have a better view than before? --Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 02:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Route tables for after 9 Oct 2016 changes

There will be various changes to bus routes from 9 October 2016, per [1]. Changes to the routes tables can be worked on here, and the article itself updated on 9 October. - Evad37 [talk] 04:57, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Moved to article

Note:Rail replacement buses for Mandurah line load from Platform B6, and drop at B2. Gnangarra 06:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

The Transperth station map which shows rail replacemnets departing from C5 and C7 says it's "Current as at 07/08/2016". So maybe Transperth plans to use those C stands for future train outages? - Evad37 [talk] 08:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

also platform A buses enter from the west exit to the east, where as all other platforms the bus enters from the east and exits to the west Gnangarra 06:17, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

I've added a description section to the article, covering bus movements and other details. - Evad37 [talk] 08:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

• Elizabeth Quay Bus Station → Elizabeth Quay bus station
• Perth Busport → Perth busport

– For consistency with other bus stations in Perth. For example:

• Booragoon bus station
• Curtin Central bus station
• Curtin University bus station
• Henley Brook bus station
• Kalamunda bus station
• Karrinyup bus station
• Kwinana bus station
• Mirrabooka bus station
• Morley bus station
• Scarborough Beach bus station
• Victoria Park transfer station

This goes against the capitalisation used in most sources, but that applies to all the above bus stations as well and I know it would be way more difficult to move the 13+ bus station articles with lowercase titles. Sources I checked are as follows:

• Oppose Perth Busport move, support moving Elizabeth Quay bus station. "Perth Busport" is a proper noun; a "busport" as a common noun distinct from a bus station is not a thing. If certain Wikipedians' war on proper nouns was to take priority over actual naming, then surely it should be moved to "Perth bus station" or "Perth Busport bus station".
