Choo Choo Choose You: The Train from Freo to Perth
Yes, folks, you can ditch the car, the bus, or that unicycle you somehow ended up with (Fremantle, you wacky place, you), because Perth is a breezy train ride away. Transperth, the public transport legends of Perth, have got your back. Their trains are comfy, convenient, and (most importantly) won't leave you stranded like a quokka in the Outback.
Here's the lowdown:
- Catch a train from: Fremantle Station Platform 1 (easy to find, don't worry)
- Disembark at: Perth Station Platform 8 (prime location for exploring Perth's delights)
- Travel time: A snappy 30 minutes (perfect for a quick snooze or a frantic game of Words with Friends)
- Frequency: Trains depart every 20 minutes, so you won't be left hanging like a forgotten coat on a rack
The Perks of the Perth Train
Look, there are many ways to get from Freo to Perth, but the train offers some unbeatable perks:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
- Leave the driving to someone else: Relax, unwind, and enjoy the scenery (or catch those missed episodes of your favourite show).
- Save some coin: Train tickets are a much cheaper option than, say, hiring a chariot (unless you know a good deal on chariot rentals, hit me up).
- Be kind to the environment: Every train journey is a small victory for Mother Nature (and who doesn't love a bit of environmental do-gooding?).
Basically, the train is your chariot to Perth without the hefty price tag or the environmental guilt.
