New Public Transport Payment Options

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.
