Transperth
Transperth controls the public transport (by contracting other companies) in Perth, Western Australia. It is run by the Public Transport Authority.
Serving areas
Transperth currently serves the Perth metropolitan area from the Perth City, east to Chidlow, west to Fremantle, south to Mandurah and north to Two Rocks. These suburbs are divided into nine fare-zones, by the distance from the Perth city centre.
Free Transit Zone
In Perth central areas, Free Transit Zone is provided for free travel in Perth City. Also inside this area, three bus routes are provided for free travel between streets in Perth. See Perth Central Area Transit for more details.
SmartRider
The Public Transport Authority and Transperth plan to introduce a smartcard-based system in 2005 named SmartRider, replacing the existing MultiRider. Some students in high schools have already been issued these cards, although they have not been introduced to the general public. This is set to happen by 2006. The student form of these cards have a picture of you on them, with your name and address.
Perth's fuel cell bus trial
