Airport transport

Transport from Perth Airport has never been easier, thanks to the new Perth Airport train line, connecting you from Perth Airport to the city centre in only 18 minutes!

Trains operate every 12 minutes in peak time, every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night. Download a copy of the Airport Line Timetable.

Unlike many other cities around the world, there is no airport surcharge for this service. Fares are capped at just $5. The easiest way to use public transport in Perth is to purchase a Transperth SmartRider card that can be used for travel on all public transport types.

You can purchase a SmartRider card at Perth Airport, Transperth InfoCentres and SmartRider retail outlets. As an international student, you’re eligible for a Tertiary SmartRider, which offers student discounts on travel.

Certain education providers also provide an airport pickup service. Be sure to check with your education provider ahead of time to see if they offer this service.
