How is this app still so rubbish?
I’m trying to plan a journey for five days from now, using well established bus and train routes and nope… nothing populates. Whoever is building this app needs to engage a proper user experience designer to do some user testing and fix this. It’s 2026, people. Get with the times.
It is (again) an easy delete for me. I’ll use Google maps instead to figure my travel out…

App is broken
No maps or fares will display even after reboot and checking Location Services are active. Both Cellular and WiFi enabled.
Useless use Google maps
Absolutely useless. I am visiting from overseas and got this to help me get about. Does not know business names or motel names. Google maps does and gives all the public transport options.
Good until it isn’t
Great app when things are running to plan. Several times though I’ve been caught out by a stop or service not in use - yet the journey planner still tells you to effing use it!
live data
the live data function doesn’t work half the time. i often have to restart the app several times. it has been like this for a while and i thought an update would fix it but no
Inconvenient
The timetable in this app often differs from the actual bus arrival times. This happens quite frequently, so I would like you to fix it immediately. Also, the fact that the arrival times and routes change on weekends is very inconvenient.
Should have digital smart riders by now. It’s 2026
Let’s get with the times hey.
Unable to put money on card
Put my credit card into autopay but it doesn’t put anything on my smartrider card and doesn’t show any message why not
Time shown is deceiving
The timing shown for buses is horrible. From the schedule one of the bus will get cancelled and the live time for the cancelled bus will show “in 4mins” for the next 15 mins until the next scheduled bus arrives.
Review
The app is good and helpful but when I put my email in to make an account it said “Email already in use” I’ve never made an account with that email.
No stars
No stars for our present day bus drivers. They never stick to the bus timings/ schedule, have less courtesy and compassion is outdated if not non-existent!!!!. Why bother about Apps live or dead(non functional) . It takes drivers to run the buses on time and keep to that schedule… and not apps suggesting where they are. Get with it or change the drivers to those who respect a proper work ethic and have responsibility to get the public to where they need to be. WAIT for IT!!!!…. None to beat bus drivers who say “ too much traffic “ when queried why the bus is 10 to 15 minutes late😂😎👏. Well, that’s what’s called ‘ a lame excuse’ to save your 🙈❤️

Tired of this. Tried to add my smart rider a lot of time and the error keeps coming as incorrect DOB, on our records DOB do not match.
Can’t Direct debit or auto load

bugs and bugs
the strongest gripe i have with the app is that sometimes when journeyplanning, routes just dont appear at all although the website displays possible routes
Broken
Every time I try to use a function that calls back to the server I get a handy error message that says “unknown error”. When I reached out to support they said that it happens on some phones and they don’t know why.
TransPerth
Outstanding safety
Rubbish
I can’t progress past installing it. App has sat at installation for days, have uninstalled fully twice and still can’t progress the installation.
Student
It is a bit complicated but gives a lot more features than the website
Decent but lots to improve
Transperth app has live navigation of all the stops and travel routes but here’s where it can improve
- planning a journey- it can take the current location by default without the user having to enter or click anything
- on bus journeys, ability to set up some alert for the desired stop
- track a bus and where it is
