General Fare Information

Transperth determines fares by dividing its service areas into zones.

There are nine Transperth zones which are defined by circles centred on Perth city. Fares are calculated by the number of zones you travel through on each journey. If you travel within one zone you only need a 1-zone ticket. If you travel over the zone boundary into another zone, you need a 2-zone ticket and so on.

Your ticket doesn't just entitle you to a single ride. It buys you up to 3 hours of travel on any Transperth bus, train, or ferry service. For journeys up to four zones, you have two hours to transfer between services. For trips covering five to nine zones you have three hours.

A two section ticket allows you to travel on short one-way journeys up to 3.2km (as the crow flies). You cannot transfer between services with a two section ticket.

For a general guide on zone boundaries, download the  Transperth Zone Boundary Map. 

For details on fares contact the Transperth InfoLine on 13 62 13 (TTY 9428 1999, TIS: 13 14 50) or plan a journey and view the fare information.

Transperth operates a Free Transit Zone (for buses) and a SmartRider Free Transit Zone (for trains) within the Perth city boundaries. Click here for further information about the Free Transit Zone (FTZ).
