Bikes On Trains
You cannot take bikes on trains TO PERTH at morning peak (7-9) or FROM PERTH at afternoon peak ( 4:30 – 6:30 ), or at or through Perth station at either of these times. Because ECU Joondalup is not in the direction of peak hour traffic, it means that bikes on trains is a very practical option!

Did You Know?
Every day, Perth residents make 240,000 private car trips that are less than one kilometre.
By converting these trips to walking or bicycle trips, we would be helping to reduce noise and pollution, saving money on parking, reducing road congestion and it’s great for our health. |
