Morley bus station is a Transperth bus station located next to the Galleria Shopping Centre in Morley, Western Australia. It has 17 stands and is served by 20 Transperth routes operated by Path Transit, Swan Transit and Transdev WA.

The bus station will be renamed to Galleria bus station from 9 December 2024 following the opening of the similarly named Morley railway station and bus interchange.[1]

History

[edit]

The original Morley bus station opened in August 1972 as the first bus station in the Perth metropolitan area.[2]

The current Morley bus station was opened on 1 July 1994 by Stephen Smith, the federal member for Perth. The ceremony was also attended by Eric Charlton, the state government's Minister for Transport.[3][4]

While there has never been a Park and ride facility at the Morley bus station, bus passengers would generally use an adjacent carpark at the Galleria Shopping Centre.[5] However, in 2011 the centre started chaining off this carpark, leaving passengers with no parking at one of the busiest bus stations in Perth.[6] As of 2024, the shopping centre enforces a three hour parking limit.[7]
