Transport & Vehicles in Willetton

High levels of public transport service make Willetton stand out compared to similar areas. While the typical resident still relies on a car, the suburb is well-served by a large number of routes and frequent departures. This creates a strong transport network, though a small number of people actually use it for their daily commute.
