The city is the western terminus of the direct, electrified passenger railway service from the Perth CBD. Fremantle was the starting point of railways in the metropolitan area of Perth, the [[Fremantle railway line]] being the starting point of the first railway in 1881 to [[Guildford, Western Australia|Guildford]].

Major highways, the [[Stirling Highway]], [[Canning Highway]] and [[Leach Highway]] connect Fremantle to the Perth CBD.

Passenger ferries operate from the port, travelling to [[Rottnest Island]], 22 kilometres off of the coast in the Indian Ocean, and upriver to Perth city centre.
