Types of tickets

Our two types of tickets are SmartRider cards and cash tickets.

SmartRider cards

This is the cheapest and most convenient way to ride on all Transperth services. The card fits into your wallet and is reusable, letting you top-up with additional funds as you need.

For more information go to SmartRider.


Cash tickets

You can buy cash tickets from ticket machines at train stations and ferry jetties, and from bus drivers.

Please note that whilst Transperth buses accept cash, no change will be given, so you must tender the exact fare.

Ticket machines at train stations and ferry jetties will accept cash and card payments.

To find out how much your fare will be, please plan your journey here Transperth JourneyPlanner or visit Transperth fares.
