    As stated by Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:

    "Travel on all Transperth services will be free from midnight until 6am on January 1, so there's no better time to let our team do the driving.

    "This allows for safe and reliable travel post-midnight as people will be out celebrating the New Year.

    "There's nothing worse than getting stuck after a fun night out, so plan ahead and take advantage of the hundreds of extra services planned to get you home safely."
