Every Sunday, travel on Transperth is free for SmartRider holders and for people who pay with a contactless card or device, on all bus, train and ferry trips from first service until last service. You still tag on and off as normal, and Transperth says the fare is free no matter how far you travel.
Transperth’s standard fare for a trip across the Perth network is Go Anywhere, which costs $3.50 in cash or by contactless payment, $3.15 with a SmartRider and $2.80 with a SmartRider on Autoload, for up to three hours of travel on any bus, train or ferry. A trip of 3.2 km or less on a single service uses the cheaper 2 Sections fare of $2.40. These fares took effect on 1 January 2026.
Accor Stadium recommends public transport: the closest station is Olympic Park, a 5-minute walk from the stadium, according to the stadium’s own getting-here page. If you drive, the stadium recommends pre-booking parking, and casual parking at Sydney Olympic Park is $8 per hour up to a maximum of $40 per day, as of October 2026.
To check a G:link or bus time on the Gold Coast, open the Translink app, use the journey planner on the Explore tab or look up a stop under Departures, and read the real-time figure next to each scheduled time. It shows +/- minutes, and red means the service is not running to schedule.
The go explore card is still sold. It gives a visitor unlimited travel on Translink buses and trams on the Gold Coast for $1.50 per day, which matters because the standard fare is now 50 cents per journey. That makes the pass cheaper only if you make four or more separate journeys in a day.
You can take luggage up to 90 cm x 60 cm x 40 cm on any Adelaide Metro bus, train or tram, and you can take a pram on all of them. Bikes are allowed on trains only, and Adelaide Metro says a driver may stop you boarding if you carry something dangerous, unhygienic or too big to fit on board.
There is no parking at Optus Stadium on major event days, so the way in is Perth Stadium Station or an event bus. Public transport is included in your event ticket for three hours either side of the event, according to Transperth, and the event bus network runs for 45 minutes after the final siren.
Translink route 622 leaves Sunshine Coast Airport every hour and runs to Maroochydore and Noosa Junction, and costs 50 cents a journey if you pay with a contactless card or a go card. Taxis and rideshare each add a $4.32 (+GST) pick-up fee, and a shuttle service runs from the bays behind the taxi rank.
There is no general public parking at GMHBA Stadium (Kardinia Park) on event days, according to the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, so the practical ways in are the train to South Geelong Station, 450 metres from the stadium, a bus along Moorabool Street, or a walk from the Geelong CBD. This guide covers the stadium’s own getting-here advice, the road closure around Moorabool Street, accessible parking and the events listed in the next two months. Details are as of 21 October 2026.
Newcastle Airport at Williamtown is served by two public bus operators, and the Port Stephens Coaches buses to Newcastle Interchange take between 29 and 40 minutes in the operator’s timetable.
