All travel
is by bus. Inside the Post
Office you will also find the Metro Shop, as the bus information office is called
here. It has timetables for all bus services, and certain types of ticket are
available too. All local bus services from Hobart leave either from Elizabeth
Street directly outside the Post Office or from one of the sides of Franklin
Square just across the road.
City buses
are operated by Metro.
Good best
value is an Off-Peak
Day Rover Ticket which
is valid for as many
journeys as you wish
after 9:00 on weekdays,
or all day at weekends.
Slightly
longer distance services
are operated by Hobart
Coaches, which company
is, in fact, now owned
by Metro. Hobart Coaches
operates to Kingston
and beyond in the south,
to Richmond in the
east and to New Norfolk
in the north. Fares are
charged by distance.
