Even from their mining-wealthy, 1-car-each, south Freo mansion, they'd happily stroll down a couple of blocks to the nearest CAT stop, and take that into Fremantle. It was a way to access cafes and bars without any hassle, and it seemed like most people used it without a second thought - but! - the regular buses were used much less, and had something of the "looser cruiser" reputation. The CATs and the trains (which travel faster than cars down the middle of some motorways, which must help their reputation) were well regarded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
