Usually preferring to explore by walking when traveling, the only time I've ever taken a city cruise bus was when Aimee and I were in London, thinking that the best vantage spot for taking photos and experiencing the sights would be up top in the open. Oh la! We were unaccustomed and unprepared for the weather, it was soo cold our teeth were actually chattering :) Not likely to happen aboard the City Sight Seeing bus or tram in Perth where even in winter the temps are pleasantly mild. Below a travel triple!
Or if you're more into train travel.. Andrew, you'll enjoy getting around and about from Perth Central Train Station in the city..
Don't forget these fab London look-alike taxis, every time I see them around the city and suburbs I think I'd like to investigate more, maybe one day I'll catch the train into the city and one of these little lovelies home :) Happy travels, take care and stay safe..
beautiful shots of your transportation system.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see all those types of transportation in another country!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views of your Perth-ect city!

Beautiful and interesting pictures, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI like especially the red bus, and well... the taxi also...
Have the transport companies of Perth made some shopping in London?
Interesting half convertible roof on your City sightseeing bus, not seen that before.
ReplyDeleteI took one of those buses only in Barcelona, and it was great! I like to take the train too, in England it was a fabulous moment .I think these are good ways to discover a place .
ReplyDeleteI do love your colorful transportation! Fun shots for the day and I'm ready to go sightseeing -- in Perth!!
ReplyDeleteΠολύ όμορφες φωτογραφίες!!! Και εγώ πάντα ανεβαίνω στο κόκκινο λεωφορείο!
ReplyDeleteΠολλά φιλιά
I love the double-decker bus! We only have one here--it belongs to the English-style Cheshire Inn.
ReplyDeleteI like the openness of your train station.
ReplyDeleteI've done the double decker tour buses in places like Paris, York but didn't do London. It always feels like a good way to get the lay of the land. I've been tempted to try the ones here at home just for fun but haven't yet!
ReplyDeleteOh, How I love those double decker red buses!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the public transportation options in Perth and the bright red pops of colour.
ReplyDeleteI've taken those sight seeing buses on my first trip to a city. It's a good way to learn your way around. When I go to London now, I usually get around by train and underground. On this last trip, I didn't take a black cab once. That's a shame because I do enjoy an occasional chat with an London cabbie. If I ever make it to Perth, I'll take that bus to get oriented with the city.
ReplyDeleteVery snazzy trains...did you import the 'bus, or do they breed there (like eucalyptus trees in the UK)?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a great public transportation system.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Grace. Can´t wait to get off the train in Perth Central Train Station again!
ReplyDeleteWonder if it looks like last time???
Never seen the busses, though, are they new?
We now have a red top deck bus too. Must do the touristy thing sometime. We also have these bicycle tok toks too ~ my son has been on them and had a ball being 'chauffeured' around in casualness. Did I read about your white London cabs here previously, or somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bus. I've always wished we had such buses in the States, and good rail service.
ReplyDeleteWe have similar double decker tour buses here. And we have double deckers on some city buses, but entirely enclosed.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love double decker buses.
ReplyDeleteThe station looks great. I don't like the way the passenger's vision is impaired by window advertising on the rear side window. Public transport and taxis should have clear windows and not be covered over by advertising.
ReplyDeleteif i come to perth i will use it all!
ReplyDeleteOnly way to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun photos! I'd jump on that bus if I could! That taxi is a cute little thing too!
ReplyDeleteThat bus would be a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteI could imagine you live in Great Britain with the busses and taxi cabs. We have those hop on and off busses here now too in Amsterdam, it has become a world wide concept.:)
ReplyDeleteIt's great to a city with good public transportation.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood why huge metropolitan areas in the USA can't support all the these methods of transportation.
ReplyDeleteGreat transport shots. It not only looks like a London cab but also a London bus, but as you say , without the weather.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I enjoyed riding those buses in London, except in the rain of course! We were fortunate enough to have mostly sunny skies during our visit though. I like the look of the trains too!
ReplyDeleteGreat transport photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings,...
I've done a couple of tours on those buses when I get visitors. Those London-like taxis are becoming quite popular around Perth, I've seen lots of them!
ReplyDeleteThe taxi looks nice. I think I would prefer to walk around Perth, but maybe not when it's 40C.
ReplyDeleteLove the dappled lighting you caught at the railroad station.
