Your Guide to Getting Around Perth

Published Feb 2019

You can get o� a bus anywhere along the route if it’s aer 7pm, providing it’s safe to do so. Just ask the bus driver!

Travel Tip

Perth’s public transport system, Transperth, brings our city’s greatest attractions within easy reach, while going easy on your wallet.

With the handy information in this guide, you’ll be ready to explore the best of Perth by bus, train and ferry.

Before you head out for the day, use the JourneyPlanner feature on the Transperth website or app. JourneyPlanner will provide you with useful details like what service you’ll need to take and how much it will cost.

To plan your journey, all you need to do is enter your location, destination and your travel times. Your journey results will then appear, offering options by bus, train and ferry. You also have the option to customise your journey to suit your needs by adjusting the walking speed, distance and maximum number of connections.

Welcome to Perth! Journey Planning

Staying Safe

Public transport in Perth is very safe, but if you need assistance, please speak to the nearest available staff member or press the emergency buttons located at all bus and train stations and on-board services.

Need assistance?If you require special assistance at a train station, call 1800 800 022 at least an hour before you intend to travel.

Transperth App

If you’re travelling around the Perth metropolitan area, we also recommend that you download the free Transperth app onto your phone. With this app, you can:

• Find the next services from any bus stop, train station or jetty.

• Track your bus, train or ferry in real-time.

CAT Bus

Ferry

Central Area Transit (CAT) buses are a great way to explore the city.

These buses are free and operate every five to 10 minutes depending on the route, time of day and day of the week.

Details of operating times are on all CAT stops. You may get on and off our Red, Green, Blue and Yellow CAT buses as often as you like without paying a fare.

As an alternative to the bus or train, there are also Transperth ferry services that travel across the Swan River between Elizabeth Quay and South Perth in around 10 minutes.

To travel free on trains you must use a SmartRider card, start and finish your journey within the zone and tag on and off in the normal way.

The boundaries of the zone are City West Station, Elizabeth Quay Station and Claisebrook Station.

Perth City has a Free Transit Zone (FTZ) for buses and a SmartRider FTZ for trains.

Travel Free Ticketing

The FTZ logo on bus stops identifies the boundaries of the zone.

To travel free without a ticket, you must start and finish your journey within the zone.

These reusable, non-refundable cards are the cheapest and most convenient way to travel with Transperth, giving you a 10% discount off the cash fare.

You can buy a SmartRider at a Transperth InfoCentre or from one of the many Retail Sales Outlets across Perth. A Standard SmartRider costs $20, giving you $10 of travel.
