Getting to Perth Airport is quite easy

Ok, so I’m flying back from Perth to Canberra today and decided to use public transport to get to the airport. So long as you have one of these it will be quite easy:

As always I appreciate how… unsubtle #Transperth are with their signage…. #perth✈️#canberra

I also appreciate that the transit bus from Redcliffe station to T3/T4 is free, to the point where they actively DISABLE the SmartRider readers. #Perth✈️#Canberra

@arcadiagt5 Gonna get easier in June when the (very) late upgrade to the card readers on the system accept debit/credit cards etc. And before that on 1 Jan the fare structure gets cut to one fare - $2.80.

Perthians like to moan about Transperth, but honestly of all the cities I've been to in the world it actually seems very good.

@quokka1 #Transperth have been fine the last couple of times I’ve been in Perth, I’ve certainly had no complaints.

@quokka1 Mind you there WAS that one time I accidentally broke Transperth way back in the 90s… https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2025/06/05/business-analysis-life-that-time-i-broke-two-departments-by-doing-what-i-was-supposed-to-be-doing/

Ok, deep breath, this is a true story, and I am not making any of this up.
