Helpful Hints 


  • Searching by road intersections (e.g. Kooyong and Chamberlain) returns more accurate results as compared to street numbers, especially for long roads
  • If the streets are near a suburb boundary, it may be better not to include a suburb name
  • Landmarks include major destinations in Regional WA (e.g. shopping centres, schools, churches, train stations, universities and hospitals, etc). Enter these in the suburb field for a quick match.
The JourneyPlanner isn’t showing services that I know are running?

JourneyPlanner results are determined by a number of factors including the departure and arrival times, and the total travel time of the journey. The journey with the shortest travel time will be displayed first even if it requires a transfer. You can customise your journey to suit your needs by adjusting the walk speed, maximum walking distance and number of connections.

Why does my journey result include a lot of walking?

JourneyPlanner results with the shortest travel times will be displayed first, even if they involve walking. You can customise your journey to suit your needs by adjusting the walking speed, maximum walking distance and number of connections.

Why doesn’t my address show up in the JourneyPlanner?
Newly developed roads or addresses may not show up in the JourneyPlanner if Transperth has not yet received the data. If your address does not display but local streets near you do, please use the Customer Feedback Form to bring this to our attention.
Why does the JourneyPlanner show services that aren’t operating?

For short-term service interruptions and planned disruptions, the results will have a red service interruption notification. Further information about the impact of the interruption can be obtained by clicking on the notification.

Unplanned delays, closures or deviations cannot be displayed in the JourneyPlanner because they cannot be anticipated, though they are generally short-term. These unplanned disruptions are always displayed on the homepage.

Where can I find travel information for regional town or school bus services?

Regional services are not included in the JourneyPlanner. For information about bus services operating in regional Western Australia, please visit the Public Transport Authority website.

Perth metropolitan School Specials are included in the JourneyPlanner and can be found by performing searches with the School Bus mode of travel enabled.
