Getting home via public transport on New Year’s Eve in Perth.

Plenty of additional services across trains, buses and ferries will operate after midnight to ensure new year’s eve punters have options outside of rideshares and taxi’s to get home.

Whether you are checking out one of the many Perth New Year’s Eve Fireworks, dancing the night away at a marquee event or simply celebrating at a friends house the idea of getting home on New Year’s isn’t always an easy one.

While the addition of DiDi in Perth might help to increase the number of rideshare drivers on the road for New Year’s – demand and cost will still be high.

Uber recently reporting in the past that demand for rides on New Year’s Eve has started to increase from 7pm with peak times occurring between 12am and 4am, it might be worth looking at your public transport options for a cheaper trip home.
