Broome
Broome is a stunning coastal town located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, renowned for its rich history, pearling industry, and vibrant tourism sector. Situated where the Indian Ocean meets the rugged landscape of the Kimberley, Broome became a central hub for the pearling trade in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Our Services
School Bus Service
In terms of local transport, the Broome Regional Town Bus Service (RTBS), operating under the brand name TransBroome, plays an important role in connecting the town’s school students. The service includes three dedicated school routes that operate only on school days, helping students commute within the Broome public transport area boundary. The buses are similar to those used by Transperth, featuring a modern green and silver livery and low-floor designs for easy accessibility. This transport system ensures that Broome remains a well-connected town, offering convenience for local families.
New Cable Beach Routes
TransBroome route 890 operates to and from Cable Beach 7 days a week. These bus services run from Monday to Friday, stopping for a short break during the school runs. On Saturdays and Sundays an hourly all-day service is available.
