Public transportation is a little difficult in Perth. There are no cabs on every corner, in fact it is almost impossible to hail one. You will most likely need to call one to your destination. The bus system is a little different too. It is always wise to be up to date on the bus schedule by visiting Transperth Here you will find information on bus, train, and ferry schedules and can map out a trip including all three if you so choose.
