What payment methods are accepted on Transperth?

Transperth offers several payment methods to make travel convenient for passengers. The primary payment method is through the SmartRider card, which is a reusable electronic card specifically designed for use on Transperth's buses, trains, and ferries. The SmartRider card can be loaded with cash or a particular travel pass, allowing for seamless travel across the network. Passengers can also use a SmartRider card to benefit from reduced fares compared to cash payments. In addition to the SmartRider card, passengers have the option of using cash for single trip tickets when boarding a bus. However, it is important to note that cash payments are not accepted for train or ferry services. For those who prefer the convenience of a contactless payment method, many Transperth services are now equipped to accept credit and debit cards that support contactless payments. Passengers are encouraged to check the most current information on Transperth's website to understand all available payment options and any possible changes to the system.
