Rehearse three routes before arriving in Perth
Save airport or station-to-housing, housing-to-school and school-to-centre routes; for late arrival, luggage or minors, confirm a school transfer or safe formal alternative.
Test the daily commute at the real class time
Use Transperth at the real class time for train, bus and interchange, leaving buffer for evening classes and disruption.
Weekend and intercity travel
Fix classes first, then check rail, coach or organised-activity returns and change conditions for outer-area plans.
Tickets and service notices
Choose by actual journeys and coverage, not historic fares or another person's product. Use the local operator's official page for disruption, works, interchanges and lost-item procedure.
Night travel and valuables
Confirm the last practical service before evening activity and keep passport separate from the travel card.
