The free commuter Red CAT inner city bus service has now split into Red and Yellow, according to the evidence on the special CAT signs and bus stops.
Except that there ARE no Yellow CAT buses. I arrived at the CAT bus stop near the train station this morning, late and needing to get to the office fast. The sign indicated that the Red no longer goes near the office, and that the Yellow does.
Now, the Red runs every 5 minutes (theoretically) as always, and the Yellow runs every 10 to 15 or more, according to the information. And the Yellow takes a direct route down Wellington Street, instead of all over the riverside parts of East Perth before it gets anywhere near here. Theoretically a much, much faster trip.
Waited for this wondrous Yellow CAT, and none appeared. I did not want to walk today because I was carrying too much on me. I saw far more Reds than I ever have before, appearing more frequently than I have ever seen, but no Yellows. So I walked again, as usual.
I do not catch the CAT from East Perth into the city, as the service ends well before I finish work each evening. Luckily the Claisebrook train station has reopened so I can now take the train to Inglewood again.
