Perth to Fremantle.
Share the drive.
Split the cost.

From Perth CBD (~20 km), passenger contributions are typically $8–10 per one-way trip. From closer suburbs like Claremont or Cottesloe it's $4–6. This is a short corridor — the main advantage is door-to-door delivery rather than cost versus the train.

For most commuters using a SmartRider, the Fremantle line is excellent — frequent, reliable and affordable. Carpooling wins for people who work somewhere not walking distance from Fremantle Station, for western suburb residents not near a train stop, and for anyone who prefers the flexibility of their own departure time without waiting for a timetable.

Yes — cost-sharing carpooling is legal in Western Australia under the Transport (Road Passenger Services) Act 2023. Cost-sharing arrangements are excluded from the regulated passenger services framework. Herdy uses the ATO cents-per-kilometre rate as the ceiling for contributions so drivers never profit from the arrangement.

Most drivers use Stirling Highway through the western suburbs — it's the most direct route and passes through Claremont, Cottesloe and North Fremantle. Some prefer the Fremantle Highway via South Perth depending on their starting suburb. Sort the preferred route with your driver in the in-app chat before your first ride.

Yes — Herdy supports recurring rides. Drivers post repeating weekly commutes and passengers book the full series. Once you find a driver on your route with matching timing, the arrangement repeats automatically each week.
