This article is about the public transport system in Perth, Western Australia. For the organisation known as Transperth from 1986 to 1995, see [Metropolitan Transport Trust](/source/Metropolitan_Transport_Trust).

"1" redirects here. For Public transport in Perth, see [public transport in Perth, Scotland](/source/Public_transport_in_Perth,_Scotland).

**Transperth** is the public transport system for [Perth](/source/Perth) and surrounding areas in [Western Australia](/source/Western_Australia). It is managed by the [Public Transport Authority](/source/Public_Transport_Authority_(Western_Australia)) (PTA), a state government organisation, and consists of train, bus and ferry services. Bus operations are contracted out to [Swan Transit](/source/Swan_Transit), [Path Transit](/source/Path_Transit) and [Transdev](/source/Transdev_WA). Ferry operations are contracted out to [Captain Cook Cruises](/source/Captain_Cook_Cruises_Western_Australia). Train operations are done by the PTA through their Transperth Train Operations division.

The Transperth train system consists of eight lines: the [Airport](/source/Airport_line,_Perth), [Armadale](/source/Armadale_line), [Ellenbrook](/source/Ellenbrook_line), [Fremantle](/source/Fremantle_line), [Mandurah](/source/Mandurah_line), [Midland](/source/Midland_line,_Perth), [Thornlie–Cockburn](/source/Thornlie%E2%80%93Cockburn_line), and [Yanchep](/source/Yanchep_line) lines; and 85 stations. Train services have operated since 1881. The Transperth bus system has over 1,499 buses and 51 bus stations, 38 of which are interchanges at railway stations. Buses have operated under private operators from 1903; these private operators were bought out by the [Metropolitan Transport Trust](/source/Metropolitan_Transport_Trust) starting in 1958. Contracting out the bus operations began in the mid-1990s. The Transperth ferry system has one route, two stops, and three ferries. The system extends as far north as [Two Rocks](/source/Two_Rocks) on the outer north of the [Perth metropolitan area](/source/Perth_metropolitan_area), [Wundowie](/source/Wundowie,_Western_Australia) in the [Shire of Northam](/source/Shire_of_Northam), and [Bouvard](/source/Bouvard,_Western_Australia) in the south of [Mandurah](/source/Mandurah). Fares are paid using the [SmartRider](/source/SmartRider) system or using cash or contactless payments. With 123,307,689 boardings in the year to June 2023, Transperth has the fourth highest patronage in Australia, although the train system has Australia's third highest train patronage.

## History

The first railway in [Perth](/source/Perth) was the [Eastern Railway](/source/Eastern_Railway_(Western_Australia)) from [Fremantle](/source/Fremantle) to [Guildford](/source/Guildford,_Western_Australia) via Perth, which opened on 1 March 1881. [Western Australian Government Railways](/source/Western_Australian_Government_Railways) (WAGR) was formed in 1890 as the operator of railways in Perth and [Western Australia](/source/Western_Australia). The [South Western Railway](/source/South_Western_Railway,_Western_Australia) opened on 2 May 1893. On 28 September 1899, the first [trams in Perth](/source/Trams_in_Perth) begin operating.[1]

In 1903, the first [private bus operator began](/source/Buses_in_Perth), operating routes from [Victoria Park](/source/Victoria_Park,_Western_Australia) to the Perth central business district (CBD). [Trams in Fremantle](/source/Trams_in_Fremantle) begin operating in 1905 and were abolished in 1952. The first diesel railcars, the [WAGR ADG class](/source/WAGR_ADG_class), enter service on 28 November 1954, replacing steam locomotives. This allowed for shorter stop spacings, leading to the opening of seven new railway stations on that date.[1]

On 15 January 1958, the [Metropolitan Transport Trust](/source/Metropolitan_Transport_Trust) (MTT) was formed, and begun to acquire the various private bus operators in Perth. The MTT also operated Perth's ferry services. Perth's last tram ran in 1958 as well. By 5 October 1968, suburban rail services were fully operated by diesel railcars. In the late-1960s, the [Midland line](/source/Midland_line,_Perth) was converted from narrow gauge to dual gauge, allowing standard gauge trains to travel from the eastern states to [East Perth railway station](/source/East_Perth_railway_station). The gauge conversion necessitated the rebuild of several stations and bridges along the Midland line. In 1969, the last [trolleybuses in Perth](/source/Trolleybuses_in_Perth) ran. The management of Perth's public transport was integrated into a single body in 1974 when the MTT took over the management of Perth's suburban rail services from WAGR. The MTT contracted out the operations of the suburban rail services back to WAGR.[1] Throughout the 1970s, bus stations opened across the Perth metropolitan region, starting with Morley bus station (now [Galleria bus station](/source/Galleria_bus_station)) in August 1972 and [Wellington Street bus station](/source/Wellington_Street_bus_station) in March 1973.[2]

The [Fremantle line](/source/Fremantle_line) was closed to passenger services on 1 September 1979, despite a 100,000 signature petition calling for the closure to be cancelled. Following a change in government at the [1983 state election](/source/1983_Western_Australian_state_election), the Fremantle line was reopened. The government then decided to electrify the existing suburban rail lines and build the [Yanchep line](/source/Yanchep_line) (known at the time as the Joondalup line). On 31 August 1986, the MTT adopted Transperth as its [trading name](/source/Trading_name), marking the first time that the name *Transperth* has been used for Perth's public transport system. Construction for the Joondalup line commenced on 14 November 1989. The electrification of the rail network was completed by September 1991 and the [Transperth A-series trains](/source/Transperth_A-series_train) entered service, replacing the diesel railcars. The Joondalup line partially opened on 21 December 1992 and fully opened in March 1993.[1][2][3] Later that year, the Joondalup line was extended to [Currambine railway station](/source/Currambine_railway_station).[4][5]

The operation of Transperth services underwent a reorganisation in the mid-1990s, with bus and ferry operations contracted out to private operators. Responsibility for managing the system was transferred to the Department of Transport. The Transperth brand was also transferred to the Department of Transport, with the brand to be used by all the companies which were to operate services under contract. The MTT adopted the trading name *MetroBus* on 14 February 1995. The operation of the ferries was transferred to [Captain Cook Cruises](/source/Captain_Cook_Cruises_Western_Australia) in February 1995. It was initially planned that MetroBus would compete with the private sector for contracts, and it was successful in bidding for the Joondalup North, Armadale South and [Perth CATs](/source/Perth_Central_Area_Transit) contracts in 1995 and 1996 whilst several other contracts were awarded to the private sector. The government later announced that it would withdraw MetroBus from operating and it would tender out the remaining contract areas. MetroBus ceased operating bus services on 4 July 1998.[2][3]

In December 1999, enabling legislation for the [Mandurah line](/source/Mandurah_line) was passed, paving the way for the construction of the line. It was initially planned to branch off the [Armadale line](/source/Armadale_line), but was later rerouted to go via a direct route south of Perth in the median of the [Kwinana Freeway](/source/Kwinana_Freeway), necessitating tunnelling under the Perth CBD. This led to the development of the [Thornlie–Cockburn line](/source/Thornlie%E2%80%93Cockburn_line) as a branch off the Armadale line instead. On 1 July 2003, the [Public Transport Authority](/source/Public_Transport_Authority_(Western_Australia)) was formed, taking over from the Department of Transport of the ownership and management of Transperth services. An extension of the Joondalup line to [Clarkson station](/source/Clarkson_railway_station,_Perth) opened on 4 October 2004. The first [Transperth B-series trains](/source/Transperth_B-series_train) enter service in 2004 as well and [Nowergup railcar depot](/source/Nowergup_railcar_depot) opens. [Thornlie station](/source/Thornlie_railway_station) opened on 7 August 2005, and on 23 December 2007, the Mandurah line opened.[1][3]

On 21 September 2014, an extension of the Joondalup line to [Butler station](/source/Butler_railway_station) opened. In July 2016, the [Perth Busport](/source/Perth_Busport) opened, replacing Wellington Street bus station. The busport is underground and has a dynamic bus stand allocation system to increase capacity for the same number of bus stands. On 3 November 2016, construction begins on the [Forrestfield–Airport Link](/source/Forrestfield%E2%80%93Airport_Link), later to become known as the [Airport line](/source/Airport_line,_Perth). In 2018 and 2019, the government passed legislation to construct an extension of the Joondalup line to [Yanchep](/source/Yanchep_railway_station), the [Ellenbrook line](/source/Ellenbrook_line) as a spur off the Midland line, and an extension of the Thornlie line to [Cockburn Central station](/source/Cockburn_Central_railway_station) along the Mandurah line, completing the original plans for the Mandurah line to spur off the Armadale line. These projects are all part of the [Metronet](/source/Metronet_(Western_Australia)) project to improve Perth's public transport system, which involves several station rebuilds and improvements as well. The Airport line opened on 9 October 2022 and the Yanchep extension opened on 14 July 2024, coinciding with the renaming of the Joondalup line to the Yanchep line. In January 2023, testing for the [Transperth C-series train](/source/Transperth_C-series_train) commenced.[1] These trains entered service on 8 April 2024.[6][7] The [Ellenbrook line](/source/Ellenbrook_line) opened on 8 December 2024, while 8 June 2025 saw the opening of the [Thornlie–Cockburn line](/source/Thornlie%E2%80%93Cockburn_line). An extension to [Byford](/source/Byford_railway_station) of the Armadale line opened on 12 October 2025.

## Services

Transperth services run as far as [Two Rocks](/source/Two_Rocks) on the outer north of the [Perth metropolitan area](/source/Perth_metropolitan_area), [Wundowie](/source/Wundowie,_Western_Australia) in the [Shire of Northam](/source/Shire_of_Northam), and [Bouvard](/source/Bouvard,_Western_Australia) in the south of [Mandurah](/source/Mandurah).[8]

### Train

Main article: [Railways in Perth](/source/Railways_in_Perth)

See also: [List of Transperth railway stations](/source/List_of_Transperth_railway_stations)

The Transperth train system consists of eight lines: the [Airport](/source/Airport_line,_Perth), [Armadale](/source/Armadale_line), [Ellenbrook](/source/Ellenbrook_line), [Fremantle](/source/Fremantle_line), [Mandurah](/source/Mandurah_line), [Midland](/source/Midland_line,_Perth), [Thornlie–Cockburn](/source/Thornlie%E2%80%93Cockburn_line), and [Yanchep](/source/Yanchep_line) lines. These lines all meet at [Perth station](/source/Perth_railway_station) and [Perth Underground](/source/Perth_Underground_railway_station) (used by the Yanchep and Mandurah lines) in the city's CBD, radiating out from there. The [Thornlie-Cockburn Line](/source/Thornlie%E2%80%93Cockburn_line) has been recently built and was opened in mid 2025. There are several other extensions and upgrades under construction as well under the Metronet project. The system has 85 stations along these eight lines.[a][9] Transperth is Australia's third busiest passenger rail system, behind [Sydney](/source/Sydney_Trains) and [Melbourne](/source/Metro_Trains_Melbourne) but ahead of [Brisbane](/source/Queensland_Rail_Citytrain_network) and [Adelaide](/source/Railways_in_Adelaide).[10] There are three trains used: the [Transperth A-series train](/source/Transperth_A-series_train), [Transperth B-series train](/source/Transperth_B-series_train) and the [Transperth C-series train](/source/Transperth_C-series_train) which entered service on 8 April 2024.[6][7]

### Bus

Main article: [Buses in Perth](/source/Buses_in_Perth)

See also: [List of Transperth bus stations](/source/List_of_Transperth_bus_stations) and [List of bus routes in Perth](/source/List_of_bus_routes_in_Perth)

The Transperth bus system consists of 44 bus-train interchanges and 13 bus-only stations.[9] The bus system is contracted out to private operators: [Swan Transit](/source/Swan_Transit), [Path Transit](/source/Path_Transit) and [Transdev](/source/Transdev_WA).[11] The bus system is the fourth-busiest in Australia, behind [Sydney](/source/Buses_in_Sydney), [Melbourne](/source/Buses_in_Melbourne) and [Brisbane](/source/Translink_(Queensland)).[10]

### Ferry

The Transperth ferry system consists of one route and three ferries. The line across the [Swan River](/source/Swan_River_(Western_Australia)) from [Elizabeth Quay Jetty](/source/Elizabeth_Quay_Jetty) in the Perth CBD to [Mends Street Jetty](/source/Mends_Street_Jetty) in [South Perth](/source/South_Perth,_Western_Australia). The ferries are the [MV *Shelley Taylor-Smith*](/source/MV_Shelley_Taylor-Smith), the [MV *Phillip Pendal*](/source/MV_Phillip_Pendal) and the [MV *Tricia*](/source/MV_Tricia).

In 2024, prior to the Western Australian State Election, the Cook-Labour government announced their plans to expand the ferry service to Applecross and Crawley (UWA). The project is estimated to cost $107 million and include.

- Two new jetties for ferries in Applecross and Crawley near UWA.
- Improvements to Mends Street jetty in South Perth.
- 5 New locally made electric ferries to replace and expand the current fleet.

## Ticketing

The fare structure and ticketing system is the same for the bus, train and ferry network. A number of ticket types are available for purchase by travellers, which can be paid for using [SmartRider](/source/SmartRider) cards, cash or contactless payments.

The Transperth system is split into nine concentric zones, radiating out from the centre of Perth.[12]: 26[9] Zone one extends 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the centre of Perth, zones two and three consist of bands 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) wide, and the remaining zones consist of bands 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) wide.

Prior to January 2022, travelling within one zone cost a one-zone fare, with higher fares applied to travellers using two or more zones, up to a nine zone fare for travelling though all nine zones. Multiple trips, including transfers between modes and services, were possible under the same fare as long as this is done within two hours for journeys four zones or less or three hours for journeys of five zones or more.[12]: 26[13] In January 2022, a two-zone fare cap was instituted by the McGowan government as an election promise prior to the [2021 state election](/source/2021_Western_Australian_state_election).[14][15] Since February 2024, travel has been free for everyone with a [SmartRider](/source/SmartRider) each Sunday.[16] In January 2026, the two-zone fare cap was replaced by a "Go Anywhere" fare which as of May 2026 charges $3.50 for a normal ticket and $1.60 for concession tickets for unlimited travel within three hours across the entire Transperth network.[17]

There are other ticket types available for passengers. The "two-section" fare is less than a one-zone fare and is for one-way trips below 3.2 kilometres (2 mi). Primary and secondary school students with a Student SmartRider can travel for free on weekdays during the school year, and with a concession fare other days.[18] The DayRider ticket allows unlimited travel for one day. The FamilyRider ticket allows unlimited travel for up to seven people for one day under certain conditions and at certain times.[19]

As of 2022, 79% of all fares were paid for using a [SmartRider](/source/SmartRider) card,[12]: 27 a contactless [stored-value card](/source/Stored-value_card) introduced in 2007. Paying for paper tickets using cash is also possible. Tickets can be issued on all buses and ferries and from [ticket machines](/source/Ticket_machines) at train stations and ferry jetties.[12]: 26 SmartRiders can only be purchased at certain retail stores, Transperth InfoCentres, and at SmartRider Hub machines at selected bus and railway stations; they are not purchasable at every station or on buses. Methods for adding money to the SmartRider card include using SmartRider Hub and stand alone "add-value" machines at certain stations, on buses and ferries, at certain retail stores and Transperth InfoCentres, [BPAY](/source/BPAY) through online banking, and by setting up "Autoload", where direct debits are made automatically from a bank account to a SmartRider. Fares for using a SmartRider cost 10% less than paper tickets, and 20% less if "Autoload" is used.[12]: 27 To use a SmartRider card, users must "tag on" at the start of a journey and "tag off" at the end of their journey, and the lowest possible fare is automatically applied. The daily spend on a SmartRider is capped at the DayRider cash fare.

People travelling to and from events at Perth Stadium do not have to use a SmartRider or pay for a ticket as Transperth fares are included in the cost of every Perth Stadium ticket.[20]

From the 1990s to 2007, [MultiRiders](/source/MultiRider) were used as multi-trip tickets. They used magnetic-stripe technology.[21]

From December 2025, commuters became able to use contactless payment methods such as credit and debit cards and digital wallets on smartphones and smartwatches to tag on and pay at the start of a journey. Commuters using this method will pay the cash fare rate.[22]

### Free Transit Zone

Perth has a Free Transit Zone (FTZ) with zero-fare travel on buses and trains in its central business district.

On the rail network, however, free travel within the zone is only available to passengers who have a [SmartRider](/source/SmartRider) card or use contactless payment, and tag on and off. This was not always the case, but is now required due to changes in station structures brought about by the implementation of the SmartRider ticketing system.[23] For train passengers, the zone is bounded by [City West](/source/City_West_railway_station), [Elizabeth Quay](/source/Elizabeth_Quay_railway_station), and [Claisebrook](/source/Claisebrook_railway_station) stations.[24]

The FTZ is funded by the [Perth Parking Levy](/source/Perth_Parking_Levy), a levy on non-residential parking bays in Perth, East Perth, West Perth and Northbridge.[25] The levy was introduced under the Perth Parking Management Act 1999, and allows levy funds to be used for transport-related investments aimed at reducing private car travel into and out of Perth CBD, including the FTZ and CAT bus services.[26]

Since its introduction, the levy has been criticised by the City of Perth council, business groups and the media.[27][28][29]

Cash and contactless payment fares as of 1 January 2026[30] Ticket Type Standard Concession 2 Section $2.40 $1.10 Standard Flat Fare $3.50 $1.60 DayRider $7.00 $3.20 FamilyRider $7.00 N/A

### Parking fees

Paid car parking at railway stations was introduced on 1 July 2014. The cost is $2 per weekday, free on weekends. SmartRiders or cash can be used to pay for parking.[31][32]
