Same deal as previous years, free travel before 7am within the Hobart urban area.

Free travel applies within the Hobart urban area when you board a bus scheduled to depart your stop prior to 7am on business days. If a service is scheduled on the timetable to arrive at your stop before (or at) 7am and arrives after 7am, you will still be allowed to board for free.

Standard fares apply after 7am, on weekends, public holidays and for non-urban travel.
This promotion is not currently offered in the Launceston and Burnie networks and non-urban areas of Hobart.

        Definitely, Hobart is quite small.

    400m²??
    Urban area of cities is much larger than their CBD!

    Kingston to Bridgewater direct is 35km! All in Hobart urban area covered by free travel.

    The greater restriction is travel times for buses before 7am to do such a journey! No bus connections will give you a free ride all the way. (First bus @6:25am–6:51 from Kingston to City misses the last bus before 7am @6:49 to Bridgewater.)

  The amount of mainlanders that think Tassie have a public rail system. Nahhh Metro is the only rail system :P

    Who thinks that?
    It's been goods trains only since the 70's.

      Good thing no passengers were on this train - https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/sep/21/pair-…

        It's amazing how one train derailment in sleepy Devonport is still remembered. No one was killed, just a minor injury.
        I didn't need to click on the link - I remembered.

    Mainlanders tend to joke about Tasmania - so lacking a passenger rail system plays into that.

    They forget the population of Tassie fits into a major mainland city many times over - so suburban rail services are very unlikely because of the small population. Buses are better suited to the hills of Hobart.

    As a Politician from Tasmania joked at 10 Days on the Island, Tasmanians have 2 heads, so when they visit the Mainland - they have someone intelligent to talk with😉

    Had a meeting one time with Tas Govt Tourism - usual mainlander hired car for 5 days & thought they'd seen everything!

    I've spent well over a year, over decades, visiting & hiking so many areas - there's always more to come back for.
