on August 1, 2004All suburban trains pass or leave through Perth train station. There are four main train lines which lead to Armadale, Joondalup, Midland and Fremantle. Trains run on a regular basis.
Tickets may be purchased on the platforms from ticket mchines which take coins only. The ticket machines will calculate the fare for you and give you change. You can travel free on any bus or train as long as you board and alight within the Perth city centre's Free Transit Zone, an area covering all major shopping streets in Perth and Northbridge. There is also a free bus service, CAT system, which operates around central Perth.
Buses are just as efficient as the trains and it's possible to make connections between trains and buses to reach your destination. You can travel by both using the same ticket.
Time-tables for countless destinations can be obtained at Perth Central Station on Wellington Street.
Ferries operate daily, 6.45am to 7.15pm, between Barrak Street jetty, Perth and Mends Street Jetty, South Perth, and until 9.15pm on Fridays and Saturdays in summer.
