The Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia (BPSWA) is a bus preservation society in Western Australia. It operates a museum in Whiteman Park.
Following the closure of the Perth trolleybus system in August 1969, the Western Australian Transport Museum was formed.[1]
In 1981, the Western Australian Transport Museum divided into two societies, the Bus Museum of Western Australia (BMWA) and the Perth Electric Tramway Society.[2] In 1982, the BPSWA found a permanent home in Whiteman Park.
The Bus Museum in 1984 produced a history of timetables relevant to Buses and Trams in Western Australia.[3]
The BPSWA owns a fleet of 35 buses, mainly ex Transperth and Western Australian Government Railways.[4]
The BPSWA operates regular services within Whiteman Park, including the Whiteman Explorer,[5] and the Discovery Bus Tour.[6] Additionally, the BPSWA brings some of its vehicles to events outside of the park, generally within the Perth area.[7]
The BPSWA publishes a quarterly periodical titled The Rattler.[8]
