Coming in from UWA & Nedlands, the run to Perth Airport uses Tonkin Highway, then Leach Highway or Roe Highway across to Stirling Highway and the coast. Leach Highway carries the airport-to-Fremantle traffic and is the section that varies most by time of day. The corridor crosses the river once, which is worth knowing if you are asking for a particular bridge or a scenic approach.
6 km is the road distance actually driven between UWA & Nedlands and Cottesloe, not a straight line on a map, and the 11 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.
