(ii) The cash fare paying boardings for regional train services for the 2012-13 financial year was 204 573. SmartRider is not available for regional train services.
(iii) Metropolitan bus services SmartRider and cash fares in each zone 2012-13:
2 Sections: 9,143,405

6 Zones: 72,106
7 Zones: 74,054
8 Zones: 11,774
9 Zones: 2,029
(iv) It should be noted that regional intra-town services use the same zonal structure and fares as Transperth. However, due to the smaller size of the country towns when compared to Perth, there are only two zones in Albany, Bunbury, Busselton, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Port Hedland. All other regional intra-town services operate within one zone which includes Broome, Carnarvon, Collie, Esperance, Karratha, Kununurra, Manjimup and Narrogin.
The SmartRider system is used in the larger towns of Albany, Bunbury, Busselton, Dunsborough, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie. The other smaller towns still use the MultiRider ticketing system.
Regional/town bus service SmartRider and cash fares in each zone:
1 Zone 2 047 021
2 Zones 69 391
Due to a programming issue with SmartRider, the PTA is unable to identify Zone 2 SmartRider traffic in 2012-13. All Zone 2 SmartRider patronage is included in the Zone 1 figures for services in Bunbury, Busselton and Dunsborough.
