Heading into the city for Australia Day? Avoid traffic by taking Transperth instead!

To travel on any Transperth service, you need to purchase a ticket. From 1 January 2026 our Go Anywhere Fare allows network wide travel for up to three hours for $2.80 using a SmartRider with Autoload or $3.50 using cash or contactless payments. Please refer to Tickets and Fares for more information.

If you're driving to one of our stations, parking is free on weekends and public holidays. For more information, click here.

Plan your journey using the Transperth JourneyPlanner before you travel and ensure you check the time of your last bus or train service.
