So, you've set your sights on South Perth – land of sunshine, sprawling parks, and (let's be honest) bragging rights about living across the river. But before you channel your inner Aquaman, a crucial question arises: how much does that fancy ferry cost?
fret not, thrifty adventurer! The answer, like a perfectly golden sunset over the Swan, is bright and beautiful: a mere $4.90 will get you a standard fare across the shimmering expanse of water. That's cheaper than a fancy coffee (and way more fun...unless your coffee comes with a side of dolphins).
But wait, you say, with the voice of a seasoned bargain hunter, are there ways to save even more? Why, yes, intrepid explorer, there are!
- The magic of concession: If you're a senior, student, or concession card holder, you'll be sailing into savings with a discounted fare of just $2.40. Now that's what we call smooth sailing on a budget!
- Family Fun! Heading to South Perth with your whole crew? Family tickets are available, bringing the cost down to a wave-washing $12.30.
Pro tip: Keep an eye out for special offers and discounts. Sometimes, Transperth (the lovely folks who run the ferries) will have deals and promotions that could save you even more clams.
Now, get out there and explore, frugal friend! The Swan River awaits, and your South Perth adventure is just a ferry ride away (for a very reasonable price, we might add).
