Hi, does anyone know if there is a central radio dispatch control room for the Transperth busses or are they all spread out? The reason I ask is I've noticed a certain set of talkgroup ID's that drivers communicate with often, I've filled it details with what I've overheard.

Code: Select all

Con+,      1,         80011,      50,  Normal,     256,  2022/07/27 17:07,  "Rockingham Base"

No, there is no central control room as Transperth is only the brand banner that the buses operate under...

From memory 801xx is PATH Transit
802xx is Swan Transit
800xx is Transdev. The last digit is what defines who's talkgroup it is (or what "Channel").

CCR is the callsign for the PATH Transit Control Room
6ST Base is the Callsign for any Swan Transit Base Radio
OCC or xxx Base is the callsign for the Transdev Base Radios.

Hope this helps.
