The Tasmanian Liberal Government is funding and delivering projects under the Hobart City Deal to ease traffic congestion and encourage more Tasmanians to use public transport.
As a result, people commuting between Huonville and Hobart will benefit from the introduction of a new express bus service.
It is great to see private businesses like TassieLink confident to invest on the back of our $81.5 million public transport election commitment, with the company purchasing these two new buses specifically for this new express service.
The new service, to be run by Tassielink, will start from Monday 12 July 2021 and will run four times in each direction during the morning and afternoon peak periods. The first bus departs Huonville at 6:05am and then every hour until 9:05am. The first bus from Hobart departs at 3:17pm and then every hour with the last bus at 6:17pm.
