Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
“We’ve put on
extra Transperth services to help you get to and from your celebrations this
New Years Eve.
“Our train and
bus networks are the most comprehensive they have ever been thanks to METRONET,
so it’s easier than ever to jump on public transport.
“Even better,
services post-midnight will be free for all users, making Transperth the best
transport option this New Year.”
