In preparation for the Fremantle Traffic Bridge closure starting on Sunday 1st February, Transperth has measures in place to support public transport during the closure.
Train Services
Two additional train services on the Fremantle Line will operate between Fremantle and Perth in the morning and afternoon peak periods. These additional train services will stop at all stations on the Fremantle Line.
Bus Services
Additional bus services will operate to support existing bus routes in Fremantle. Bus Routes 107, 160, 998 and 999 will undergo route changes and all bus services operating in Fremantle will undergo timetable changes due to the road network changes.
A number of bus stops will undergo minor changes to location to accommodate the road network changes.
Information on changes to your train, bus and school services can be found here in January 2026.
For more information on road network changes, visit the Main Roads website.
Free Transit Zone
A free transit zone along South Tce between Douro Rd and Fremantle Station will operate during the bridge closure period.
To travel free, you must tag on and tag off within the zone with your SmartRider or contactless payment method within the Free Transit Zone. If your journey starts or finishes outside the zone, you must pay a fare for the whole journey.

Parking at Fremantle Station
An additional 100 parking bays will be made available at Fremantle Station for the duration of the bridge closure.
Registered SmartRider users who are catching the train or fare paying bus service during the bridge closure period will receive free parking at Fremantle Station.
Visit Parking for more information about SmartParker.
School Service Changes
New School Special bus services will operate from Fremantle Station to Iona Presentation College, St Hilda’s Anglican School and Presbyterian Ladies’ College.
These schools were allocated School Special services due to their proximity to Stirling Hwy and the significant car usage to and from these schools over Stirling Bridge.
Additional capacity will be added on selected existing routes servicing John Curtin College of the Arts and Christian Brothers College.
Other schools in the surrounding area will be affected by timetable changes.
Transperth bus services will commence the school day timetable on Monday 2 February, which is the first date of the State Government Gazetted school term. Prior to Monday 2nd February, Transperth bus services will operate to a school holidays timetable.
Information on changes to your school services can be found here in January 2026.
