Tasmania Buses
Public buses in Tasmania
With no passenger rail services on the island, buses are the main means of getting around Tasmania if you’re without a car. Bus services are comfortable and efficient, although departure times can change due to seasonal demand, so it’s a good idea to check directly with the transport provider when making plans.
Tassie Link and Redline Coaches are the main long-distance transport providers in Tasmania and connect towns and cities across the state. With several departures each day, Intercity Redline services travel from Hobart to Launceston, then continue to Devonport and Burnie.
Tassie Link operates services from Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula and along the East Coast, as well as to Campania and the Huon Valley. They also run buses between Burnie and the West Coast and have a service that connects Evandale with Perth, Longford and Cressy.
MetroTas is the main transport provider within the cities of Hobart, Launceston and Burnie and operates an extensive network of routes that connect most of the local attractions. If you want to travel from Hobart to New Norfolk, you can take advantage of the Derwent Valley Link buses. For Port Arthur, daily shuttles are offered by Tassie Tours from Hobart, including a photo op at the Pirate’s Bay Lookout.
McDermott’s Coaches offers scheduled services between Launceston and Cradle Mountain, including pick up from your chosen accommodation. They also operate the “Cradle Discoverer”, a purpose-built, hybrid diesel-electric bus that transports visitors between the Cradle Mountain National Park visitor centre and Dove Lake.
In the northwest of Tasmania, the main bus operator is Mersey Link, which has services connecting Devonport with Latrobe, Port Sorell, Ulverstone, Latrobe and Sheffield.
