Coming in from Perth Zoo, the run to Perth Airport uses Great Eastern Highway and the Graham Farmer Freeway tunnel. This is the shortest corridor on the network and the one most exposed to city traffic: the Graham Farmer tunnel and the Causeway approaches are where a metered fare would climb. On a fixed fare the traffic is the driver’s problem, not yours.
5 km is the road distance actually driven between Perth Zoo and Elizabeth Quay & East Perth, not a straight line on a map, and the 9 min estimate is measured over that road. Both numbers set the fixed fare, so a longer way round in traffic costs you nothing and gives the driver no reason to take one.
