How is the fare calculated for journeys involving multiple modes of transport?

Fare calculation for journeys involving multiple modes of transport in the Transperth network is designed to be simple and straightforward for passengers. When an individual uses more than one mode of transport, such as a train, bus, or ferry, the fare is generally determined based on a combination of factors, including the distance traveled and the zones crossed. Transperth operates on a zone-based fare system, where the city and surrounding areas are divided into different fare zones. The fare is calculated based on the starting zone and the destination zone. If a passenger travels through multiple zones and utilizes different modes of transport within a two-hour period, Transperth’s fare system ensures that the fare remains capped at a maximum amount, which means that no matter how many changes are made between the modes of transport during this period, the passenger will not pay more than that maximum fare. In addition, concessions may apply for certain passengers, such as students and seniors, which can also affect the final fare. For precise and detailed information about the current fare structures and special provisions, it is advisable to refer to the official Transperth website, where updated information is readily available. This ensures passengers are well informed and can plan their journeys effectively.
