Free Travel Entitlement

From Monday, 5 February 2024, any primary and secondary school students with a valid Student SmartRider will be able to travel for free on Transperth services for any journey, Monday to Friday, until the end of the school year.

Students will need to tag on and off, or they will receive a default fare. If their SmartRider goes into negative balance as a result, they will not have access to free travel.

For schools located near the Armadale/Thornlie Line, including St Norbert College, students can now access their free travel via their Student SmartRider instead of the Shutdown free travel passes.

For more information about Student SmartRiders, visit the Transperth website.
