In WA the main public transport way of getting anywhere (Other than Kalgoolie or Bunbury) is via road coach. Prices are very reasonable considering the distances involved. One adult with bike via road coach from Perth to Albany - a distance of 415km - on a public holiday cost me $80.00.
Everything road coach departs from the East Perth terminal. It's a bit out of the way from the happening parts of town, but getting on the shared bike path network is easy. A shared path runs straight past the front door.
To get the bike on the coach, a bit of bike deconstruction is needed to make it into the luggage storage area. I had to remove the front wheel and lower my seat before I was ready to travel.
When putting the bike in the storage area It's important to keep the bike upright - if the derailer receives a knock in transit that's a ride ending issue. Tucking the front wheel between the wall and the rest of the bike should reduce this risk.
