"Offenders who commit violent acts or criminal damage on Perth trains, buses and stations could face up to nine months’ jail for breaching public transport banning orders. Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the Public Transport Authority Amendment Bill 2008 would strengthen the Public Transport Banning Orders introduced by regulation in February this year. Those regulations enabled the PTA to ban repeat offenders from the public transport system for up to three months. Ms MacTiernan introduced the legislation into State Parliament."
