Perth has one of the best transport services that I have ever come across. Not only is it easy and relaxing travelling, but the people who provide the service are also very friendly and helpful. I spent 13 months living in Perth and I was able to get around easily without owning a car. For long trips, however, outside the transport area, you will need a car or a tour.
All 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. Leave a Comment

 "Australind" train service
between Bunbury/Perth by robertgaz, 4 more photos
The "Australind" train provides a quick and efficient twice daily rail link between Perth and Bunbury and the "Prospector" train between Perth and Kalgoorlie.
Transwa also operates coach services to places such as Kalbarri in the north, Esperance in the south-east and Albany & Augusta in the south. Leave a Comment

My friends in Perth told me that I can just board the trains without buying a ticket, as the ticket conductors dont come on often.
I was in Fremantle, trying to get back to the city centre in the night. The train came and I havent bought my ticket from one of those self-service machines. I was tempted to just run in w/o a ticket. Boy, was I glad I didnt! I mean, it was only A$2 something. I bought the ticket and still caught the train. Shortly later, I saw the train conductors. They were already handing out fine slips! The fines were like A$100 or 200 I cant remember. But please remember to board with a ticket! ;) Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Perth Central Railway by aussirose
Perth has a great transport system. You can purchase a family all day rider ticket (after 9.00am on weekdays and any time on weekends & public & school holidays) to hop on and off the trains, buses and ferries for under $10 for 2 adults and up to 5 kids for the whole day. Now that's value for money!! Leave a Comment

The train system provides a quick and easy way to get around. There are 4 train lines to Fremantle, Armadale, Joondalup or Midland. I took the train to Fremantle which took only about 30min. Some train services are express and do not stop at all stations so check the train information boards carefully before boarding in case the train doesn't stop at your particular stop! Tickets can be purchased at the train station platforms from the ticketing machines (in case you are out of coins, there are coin changing machines too). The train system is wheelchair friendly. You can pick up more info or train timetable for the various lines at the Perth Train station, Esplanade Busport, Plaza Arcade and Wellington Street Bus Station. Leave a Comment

In Perth center there is a free bus service called CAT. These busses show up every five to ten minutes and bring you anywhere in Perth center up to Northbridge.
Going to Fremantle and other surrounding cities can be done by lightrail.
If you are planning to go further then i would reccomend a car. It gives you much more freedom. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

In Perth we have one metropolitan train service from fremantle to Perth. Service is every 15 minutes. This services all towns north of the river - claremont, shenton park etc. Unfortunely we don't yet have a service for the southern metropolitan area
The bus network covers all of the metropolitan area of Perth, schedules are available for each bus number.
We also have cycle tracks and cyclists share the road with motorists Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The best way to get around is with your own car. But I'm not a lucky one to have a 'drive licence' so I take the public transportaion (Bus, Train)
Well, to visit all the places in South-West of Australia take a Month-Pass by West-Rail. It cost around 130AU$. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

the train system is perth is very simple. its like one big crossroad - with the centre of the city as the middle. one track goes from south west of the city atr fremantle to north east at midland. the other goes south east at armadale to north west at joondalup. ptices aren't that bad and you can buy multiriders at a discount price if you have a isic card. mulitrioders are good for either 10 or 40 trips throught either one or two zones. depending on the distance you want to go
I suggest you buy a one and two zone ten trip multirider if you are going to be in perth fro a while -they are worth it Leave a Comment Theme: Train
