Public Transport Questions relate to a Perth bus map produced by Transperth. These can be adapted to any assessment situation in which questions about the use of public transport to get to the contracted provider's centre are relevant. In this case we are assuming that the interviewee lives in Glendalough and will be attending a centre in Fremantle and is quite familiar with the local area.

Using the map
(See map below.)

NRS 1.2
Can you find Glendalough and Fremantle on this map?

NRS 2.1. 2.2
Will you travel from Glendalough on one bus or do you need to change buses at some point. Can you show me where that is on the map? Can you find on the map the numbers of the buses you'll be travelling on? Does the bus go past any beaches? Which ones? Where are they on the map?

Using the timetable information

NRS 2.2 and NRS 2.9
What time bus will you catch from Fremantle to Scarborough if we finish at 2pm? What about if we finish at 2.30? How long will you have to wait for the next bus? How long will it take to get to Scarborough? What time will you get to Scarborough? Where will you wait for the Glendalough bus? Where does the information tell you that?

Can you travel from Scarborough to Fremantle by bus on weekends? Where does it tell you that on the time table?

Looking at the map, and comparing the bus route with the train route, do you think it might be quicker to go by bus or train? How might you find out? (NRS 1.2)

NRS 3.6 (+)
What details would they need to know in order to help you work that out? Interviewee calls Infoline and receives required information.
