The 555 bus goes along manning road, diverts onto canning hwy, then heads to
Garden City. Might be useful for some people.

The 34 starts in Redcliff, makes its way to the city bus port, then through
south perth/como to the Curtin bus port.

That journey planner really sucks. It's quicker to walk to the nearest
transperth store (even up-to an hour away) and pick up some timetables.
It's both difficult to use and painfully slow.

The best thing is to get a list of bus numbers that go to Curtin uni and
people can get times from the transperth website.
