Catching the bus to the airport

Reader John Angus enjoyed Gemma Nisbet’s recent Travel Essentials Guide and has something to add.

“In relation to the bus service to/from the airport, I would just add that the 37 and 40 Transperth service is a great service to (and from) T3 and T4 (except to Perth on a Sunday night).

“For T1 and T2 there is a free Connect bus service to/from T3 and T4 every 20 minutes for much of the day.”

And thank you, John. He supplies more information below...

THE FULL DETAILS

To and from Perth Airport T3 and T4, bus 40 is slightly faster/more direct than the 37. (Some 37s terminate in Belmont — people need to make sure they have an airport 37.)

The last bus to Perth leaves at 7pm on a Sunday evening — otherwise it’s a great service.
