Free public transport in Western Australia
Premier Cook said the free summer program “saw a massive leap in public transport use” across the state, at a time of rising cost of living pressures.
To use free transport, travellers must have a SmartRider card. Adult cards cost $10 and student cards are $5.
The government estimated free travel to and from school will save WA families around $280 per student, per year.
