Get on board with another free public transport summer

Following the success of last year’s Summer of Free Public Transport initiative, passengers will be able to again enjoy free travel on trains, buses and ferries this summer.

The initiative will begin Saturday 14 December and run until Wednesday 5 February, with free public transport available to all SmartRider users.

A family of four can save up to $30 on a single trip in public transport costs through the initiative.

Last year's Summer of Free Public Transport initiative saw 8.3 million SmartRider boardings across bus, train or ferry services - an increase of 42 per cent compared to the same period in 2022-23.

Passengers must tag on and off at the beginning and end of their journey to access free travel. Parking at stations will also be free during this time when passengers use their SmartRider at parking stations.

Using a valid SmartRider is the easiest and most convenient way to travel on the public transport network, which also gives users free transport every Sunday.

SmartRider cards are available from a wide range of retail outlets and Transperth InfoCentres.

More information can be found on the Transperth website.
