CAT, Bus and Train Services (see also Free Transport Zone)
Public transport can be a quick and convenient option for many trips. The City of Perth is the primary destination for public transport with connections to all of metropolitan Perth.
Instead of risking traffic, try the bus or train. You can sit back and relax, save on car running and parking costs and avoid the hassles of driving while helping the environment!
Try public transport for some of your shopping trips or to get to sporting events, concerts or other attractions.
The City of Perth also works closely with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and the Public Transport Authority to provide additional services to people using the inner city, including free public transport within City of Perth boundaries and the establishment of late-night bus services on Saturday nights departing from Western Australia's premier entertainment precinct, Northbridge.
