How Transregional fares work
Similar to the Transperth fare system, one flat fare allows you to travel anywhere across regional town bus services until the time expires.
Types of fares
Fares effective 1 January 2026
Standard Fares
Concession Fares
All fares GST inclusive. Fares calculated are rounded to the nearest whole cent based on normal rounding convention. A standard cash rate applies to contactless payments, concession fares are not applicable.
*FamilyRider tickets are only available as cash tickets and have time restrictions on when they can be purchased.
2 Sections
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 and contactless payment method it will automatically calculate the appropriate fare
Go Anywhere
You can travel anywhere on the Transperth network within three hours with the Go Anywhere fare.
If you are travelling using a SmartRider or contactless payments, your fare will be automatically capped at the Go Anywhere fare.
If you purchase a cash ticket, just select the Go Anywhere fare option to get 3 hours system-wide travel from the time of your ticket purchase on any Transperth service.
DayRider
A ticket that gives you unlimited travel on the day you buy it.
The DayRider is available for purchase all day everyday.
SmartRider and contactless payments passengers will automatically have their fare capped at the DayRider rate.
