There is a Free Transit Zone in Perth,
From post 22: Also, note that the Hilton and Hyatt are at opposite ends of town.
Catching a Transperth bus, such as between these two hotels, is free in this zone

d) No. 37 bus, which runs from domestic T3/T4 (covers QF, JQ, VA) into the city and goes along Adelaide Terrace which turns into St George's Terrace as in post post 369 by tuapekastar. Buy a ticket on the bus (post 371)
