Free Travel Entitlement

With the remainder of the Armadale Line between Beckenham and Byford stations now open, free travel entitlement has ended.

Passengers, who were previously affected by the Armadale Line closure between Armadale and Beckenham stations, will no longer receive free travel and will be charged a fare when tagging on and off Transperth services with their SmartRider.

The free travel entitlement has been automatically removed from SmartRider cards and passengers will now require value on their SmartRider cards to use Transperth services. Passengers can check and update their Autoload details on My Account via the Transperth website. Adding value to SmartRider cards can be done via Add-Value Machines and Transperth Info Centres.

Concession SmartRider holders must tag on and off between Tuesday 14 October and Monday 27 October to ensure they continue to receive a concession rate. If you are unable to tag on during this time, please call 13 62 13 one hour prior to travelling to have your concession rate re-applied.

University and TAFE students are reminded to update their details via their student portal to ensure they receive their concession when they travel.

Senior, Pensioner and Health Care SmartRider holders will automatically have entitlements applied to their SmartRider cards but are required to tag on and off between Tuesday 14 October and Monday 27 October to ensure this is applied to their SmartRider cards. If you are unable to tag on during this time, please call 13 62 13 one hour prior to travelling to have your concession rate re-applied.

The end of free travel entitlement also applies to Transperth car parks. Passengers will now be charged as normal when tagging on at SmartParker machines.
