The Tasmanian Government announced that public transport will be free for another year, from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Public transport is a great alternative to driving for many people and this incentive encourages people to give it a go, particularly in the context of rising fuel costs.
Free travel applies to:
- Adult, concession, urban, non-urban and child/student fares;
- General access services operated by Metro Tasmania, Tassielink Transit, Kinetic, Manions Coaches, Calows Coaches, Area Connect and Derwent Ferries; and
- All government contracted school bus services that charge a fare.
For more information, people can visit transport.tas.gov.au/fares or call (03) 6166 3343 (9am to 5pm weekdays).
Should you have any questions, please contact the Passenger Transport branch at ptfeedback@stategrowth.tas.gov.au or on (03) 6166 3343 (9am to 5pm weekdays).
