I was looking at the Perth connect shuttle service for a weekend and there's no service from the CBD that arrive at the airport between 7:30am and 7:15pm, and I thought WTF?

The Transperth 37 Bus arrives at the airport ~10am at the earliest. So there's a gap between 7:30am and 10am.

I need to be at the airport around 9am and don't want to be there too early and I hope to avoid paying for a taxi fare or a tortuous multi-service trip.

Gosh what kind of transport planning allows this public transport blackhole?

Please can anyone suggest a route on a Sunday from the CBD to the airport without paying through the nose.

Thanks

Public transport to Perth Airport?
Try a taxi for $35 or so. Make sure you know how
to get there as it's quite likely the driver will not.

When are you going and where do you live? If its the same day were going and you live on the way we could be convinced to pick you up on the way.

thanks dorothy, i'm alright. prolly just take the cab.

i might just take the 7:30 shuttle and wait in the bar for brekkie or something.

How about using the shuttle bus? http://www.perthairport.com.au/ToThe.../Shuttles.aspx. Timetable here. Just looked at the timetable and see what you mean - can't be right, surely? But, then, this is Perth.

yeah thats what i saw. i rang them and the lady said their timetable in the website is absolutely correct.

We recently paid $64 .We are a half hours drive from there.You can use the taxi calculator to give a rough idea.

$64 is just soooo wrong

Dorothy

I'd only charge you $50.

Welcome to rip off Perth, it cost me over $100 to get to/from Iluka.

The coach is $15 but will be 2 hours early. Will just spend the saving in a nice proper brekkie in the terminal, if theres any.

Hopefully you can get a decent breakfast there, but I wouldn't be confident about it. Dome might be the only place to get that. I had about 20 minutes to kill at the domestic terminal a couple of months ago, waiting for OH to pick me up, and it took almost that long just to get a takeaway coffee. The "barista" just had no idea about customer service.

OK here's something else, all the signs to the airport used to read "Domestic" and "International" - the terminals are on opposite sides of the airfield.

Now the signs all read "Terminals 1 & 2" and "Terminals 3 & 4" - well confusing - it caught me out when I went to pick my girls up when they returned from their Canberra trip.

I live close to the airport so no hassle getting there but Perth really needs that rail link
