The WA Government has launched a new Golden SmartRider competition in an attempt to get commuters back onto public transport.
Over the month of October, every commuter who travels on public transport and fills out an online entry form on the Transperth website will go into a draw to win a year’s worth of free travel across the Transperth network.
One winner will be chosen each week.
“Our train network is world-class and will soon be more accessible to even more people, with new rail lines reaching Yanchep, Ellenbrook and connecting Thornlie to Cockburn,” said WA Premier, Mark McGowan
“While we have had one of the best public transport patronage recoveries in Australia, thanks to our strong response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to encourage more people back onto our network.
“Today we are launching the Golden SmartRider competition that will see four people given a year’s worth of free public transport.
“We are also working hard to implement our key election commitments of capping fares to two zones and upgrading SmartRider technology, while delivering on our job-creating METRONET projects.”
The competition commences on Friday October 1, and commuters are encouraged to ensure their SmartRider details are up to date.
