Transperth Smartrider

Starting in 2007 all Transperth public transport services including buses, ferries and trains will be equipped with a new smartcard system called SmartRider. This new electronic ticketing system will allow you to buy a SmartRider card and store value on it, which can then be used to travel on Transperth services. It’s good for users because it’s cash-free, fast, efficient and enables students and seniors to get special discounted rates. To use SmartRider cards, simply keep them in your wallet or purse and when you step onto the service “tag on” by pressing your wallet (you don’t need to take the card out of your wallet, just press it on the reader) against the reader at the entrance. When you get off the bus, remember to “tag off” on the reader near the exit.

For full information on SmartRider cards, check out the ‘What is SmartRider?’ page on the Transperth website or watch a short video on how to tag on and off when you use buses. Happy traveling!
