Free travel information(transperth.wa.gov.au)

The Cook Labor Government has today announced its latest cost-of-living relief measure,(wa.gov.au) with free public transport to be provided for school student travel and for the entire community every Sunday.

× Students travel free on public transport from next week

× Free public transport to be provided for everyone, every Sunday

Cost-of-living relief policy could save more than $500 each

The Ride to School Free Program will be specifically for travel to and from school Monday to Friday and will be available to those who hold a valid Student SmartRider card(transperth.wa.gov.au), while the Fare Free Sundays will be available to everyone with a valid SmartRider card.

The Ride to School Free Program will commence on Monday February 5 while the Fare Free Sundays will begin on February 4.

Families who have two children travelling to and from school daily on public transport could see savings of up to $560 across the school year as a result of the change.

The Ride to School Free Program will benefit every student that rides the bus or train to school – with around 300,000 students currently holding Student SmartRiders.

The new initiatives come on top of existing supports provided by the Cook Government to make travel cheaper for Western Australians including:

the free School Bus Service in regional Western Australia;
doubling the conveyance allowance for families that cannot access the free School Bus Service;
two-zone fare cap for travel on public transport in metropolitan Perth;
the Regional Airfare Zone Cap scheme; and
free public transport for seniors during off-peak
