Can visitors use contactless payment on Perth buses and trains?

Compare a visitor's short-trip needs with SmartRider and ticket options on the official fare page. Buying a card only makes sense if the use justifies it.

If contactless is supported, use the same card or device for every tap in that trip. Keep a backup payment method for a reader problem.

Check Transperth's current accepted payment methods for each mode before travel; a system upgrade can roll out in stages. Do not assume Sydney's rules apply.
