As part of the Train shutdowns in Perth to facilitate upgrades of the Perth CityLink project Transperth will be providing a limited Ferry service between Perth and Fremantle. This ferry service will be SmartRider enabled (confirmed with Transperth InfoLine). As it's a 2-zone journey if you have a SmartRider with auto-load enabled it will cost you $3.15 one way with no concessions. A concession with auto-load is $1.28 or a full priced cash ticket $4.20

Transperth will operate a ferry service from Barrack Street Jetty to Fremantle B Shed, just look for the James Stirling vessel, operated by Captain Cook Cruises.
The ferry will operate from Saturday 13 until Wednesday 17 July and from Wednesday 31 July** until Sunday 4 August
There are only 5 return services each day as listed under "Fremantle Ferry" on this page: http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/ServiceUpdates/ServiceDisrup…
Due to their being no Fremantle trains running I anticipate demand may be high.
Captain Cook Cruises will be operating the ferry for TransPerth and normally charge $27 one way. It's the same 1hr15min duration as this one:

I hope there will be more buses. They just tell you to take X bus, but they don't tell you whether they will be running them more than say every 30 minutes. They should have done this when the weather was warmer.
When you go to journey planner and enter your start and end points, it still gives you train journeys.
Thanks Transperth.
