Smartrider Information Sheet SMARTRIDER CONCESSION CARDS What do I need to know? SmartRider Cards Students travelling on public transport need a SmartRider concession card to obtain reduced fares and gain quick and easy access to railway stations. The SmartRider card is similar in size to a credit card and is available to all students. Holders of a SmartRider card are eligible for the student 70-cent fare. The card may be used on Transperth bus, rail and ferry services and Transwa country road and rail services throughout Western Australia to obtain concessions. The Public Transport Authority (PTA) will issue SmartRider cards for concession travel from data provided by Perth Modern School. Parents and guardians must first give permission to allow us to provide the PTA with the data it needs to issue cards (photo, name, address, date of birth and student number). The PTA must comply with privacy requirements and will only use the information provided by Perth Modern School for the issuance of the SmartRider concession card. Is it compulsory to apply? It is not compulsory to apply however we do highly recommend completing the form. Students tend to change to public transport after the first year at school or students can use the SmartRider card for other purposes. It is also used to show proof of concession for other reasons such as purchasing concession movie tickets etc. How do I apply? All new students are sent a Student Travel Permit form to complete and send back to Perth Modern School with all other Admission forms. Student photos will be taken on Orientation Day and new cards will only be ordered for students who hand in a completed and signed Student Travel Permit - SmartRider Concession Card form. How much does a SmartRider cost? For new students, the initial fee of $5 is included on the Contributions and Charges Sheet. When do I get my card? Once the school receives the new cards from Transperth at the beginning of the new school year, you will be issued your card during Advocacy. Can I use my card straight away? You must first add value to your new card. To activate your card, you need to add a minimum of $10. How do I add value to my card? There are 4 ways to add value, please see the Transperth website for details on how to add value to cards – www.transperth.wa.gov.au Students starting Perth Modern School during the school year I have a SmartRider card from another school, how do I get one from this school? Your parent/guardian will need to complete and sign a Student Travel Permit - SmartRider Concession Card form from our school. This form is available from the finance desk or the School library. How much does a SmartRider cost? The fee for a new SmartRider card is $5.00. This fee will only be accepted at the finance desk. What do I do next? Pay the $5 fee then take your completed and signed form to the library to have your photo taken. Your card will only be processed once you have handed in the signed form to the library. When do I get my card? You will be notified in the Student Daily Notices that your card is ready for collection and you will be asked to come to the library to collect your card. Can I use my card straight away? If you had a previous SmartRider card from another school any leftover balance should be transferred to the new card. Ring Transperth with any queries. If this is a totally new SmartRider card, you must first add value to your new card. To activate your card, you need to add a minimum of $10. How do I add value to my card? See – www.transperth.wa.gov.au My Perth Modern School card has been lost/stolen/broken, how do I get a new card? Collect a Replacement SmartRider form from the finance desk.

    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

  • WA Labor's Plan for Train Services to Bunbury
    WA LABOR’S PLAN FOR Train Services to Bunbury WA Labor Policy October 2016 PLAN FOR TRAIN SERVICES TO BUNBURY WA LABOR’S PLAN FOR TRAIN SERVICES TO BUNBURY Western Australians love the Australind. It’s a South West icon. However the Australind service in 2016 is only 45 minutes faster than it was 70 years ago. It just hasn’t kept up with other 21st century transport nor delivered the economic benefits to the South West that it could. We can do better. That’s why we need a real plan to will revitalise Bunbury to Perth travel. We will modernise the passenger experience and provide a more direct service. Creating new opportunities for tourists to enhance their Australind experience and take advantage of the tourism potential of Bunbury, Collie and surrounding communities along the train line will help grow local economies and create local jobs. By developing specific tourism packages for Australind passengers they can access accommodation and tour packages as part of their travel experience. It won’t stop there. We need to plan for the future. The work by the previous Labor Government to plan for a new, high speed train service between Perth and Bunbury has stalled under the current Liberal-National Government. We will put these plans back on the table and work towards a long- term plan for high speed rail to Bunbury. The South West is a beautiful part of the State and a place I love to explore with my family. I welcome this investment in the Australind to help open the South West to future opportunities.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Perth's urban rail renaissance Abstract Over the past thirty five years, instead of being discontinued from use, Perth's urban rail network has been tripled in route length and electrified at 25,000 oltsv AC. The extensions include the Northern Suburbs Railway (with stage 1 opened in 1993 and this line reaching Butler in 2014), and, the 72 kilometre Perth Mandurah line opening in 2007. Integrated with a well run bus system, along with fast and frequent train services, there has been a near ten fold growth in rail patronage since 1981 when some 6.5 million passengers used the trains to 64.2 million in 2014-15. Bus patronage has also increased. These increases are even more remarkable given Perth's relatively low population density and high car dependence. The overall improvements in Perth's urban rail network, with many unusual initiatives, have attracted international attention.
