Special types of tickets and fares

All WA school kids are eligible for the student fare. For information about the student fare, see Student SmartRider.

This is our name for a trip of 3.2 kilometres or less. It gives you a one-way ride on a single bus, train or ferry service.

If you choose to continue your journey you will need to purchase another ticket, if you are using your SmartRider it will automatically calculate the appropriate zone fare. 

For more information, go to Fare Examples.

A ticket that gives you unlimited travel on the day you buy it. 

The DayRider is available for purchase all day everyday.

SmartRider passengers will automatically have their fare capped at the DayRider rate.

A cash ticket that gives a group of up to seven people unlimited travel on the day of purchase, provided no more than two of them normally pay full fare. You may buy one at the following times.
