only certain buses (know as CAT's) in the CBD.

Everything else you have to pay for, but its not that expensive.

The three CAT bus routes red, blue and yellow are free.
Transperth buses are also free in the Free Transit Zone.
Which is essentially the city centre.
You pay if you travel outside this zone.
Try http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/DesktopDefault.aspx
You should get info there.

Great if you work in the CBD for visits to restaurants and pubs at the other end of town for the Friday arvo drinking session.

the tickets are generally very cheap anyway, and don't forget they're interchangable with other transperth stuff too!! BARGAIN!!

Zones and time limits
Like most of the world's major public transport systems, Transperth determines fares by dividing its service area into zones.

There are nine Transperth zones which are defined by circles centred on Perth City. Fares are calculated by the number of zones you travel through on each journey. If you travel within one zone you only need a 1-zone ticket. If you travel over the zone boundary into another zone, you need a 2-zone ticket and so on.

Your ticket doesn't just entitle you to a single ride. It buys you 2 to 3 hours travel on any Transperth bus, train, or ferry service. For journeys up to 4 zones, you have two hours to transfer between services. For trips covering 5 to 9 zones you have three hours. The exact expiry time will be printed on your ticket.

For a general guide to where the zone changes occur click on the link to the ZONE MAP. For exact details on fares contact the Transperth InfoLine on 13 62 13.

Very good value for money!!

love sophia x
