New Public Transport Payment Options

Please be aware that new payment options for public transport will roll out in Perth from Monday, 8 December.

Passengers will be able to tag on and off public transport using physical debit or credit cards, as well as cards on phones, smartwatches, and other wearable devices.

Passengers using these new payment options will be charged at the current Transperth cash rate - paying no more than $5.20 for a single journey anywhere on the network.

This becomes even more affordable from 1 January 2026, with a maximum $3.50 cash rate applied to contactless payments for a single journey. Those using the new payment options will still be able to receive free travel on Sundays by tagging on and off.

Please note:

  • Concession rates will not be available for contactless payments.
  • Contactless payments can not be used on SmartParker machines.
  • The same card or device must be used to tag on and off for each journey.

More information will be available on the Transperth website or please call the Transperth InfoLine on 13 62 13.
