Hobart Airport
If
you arrive in Hobart
from another state, you
will be arriving by
air. There is an airport
bus which will deliver
you to wherever you want
to go in the city.
Hobart Airport is on the Tasman Highway just under 20km northeast of Hobart.
Long distance
Buses
If you
arrive from within
Tasmania, it will be
by bus. There are two
major bus companies
in Tasmania – Tasmanian
Redline and TassieLink.
The Tasmanian Redline
Bus Terminal is at
the south-western edge
of the city centre in
Collins Street. It is
within easy walking distance
of most accommodation
and of the city centre.
The TassieLink Bus
Terminal is located at
64, Hobart Street,
and is even more central.
TassieLink offers an
Explorer Pass for use
within Tasmania, giving
unlimited travel for
various numbers of days.
The pass does not include
travel on the routes
operated to Scotts Peak
and Cockle Creek in summer
only, but these can be
travelled by payment
of supplements.
TassieLink
also offers some special
fares for bushwalkers,
so that one may travel
by bus to Lake St.
Clair, walk to Cradle
Mountain and then take
the bus either on to
Launceston or back to
Hobart at a discounted
rate, for example. One
may also take a bus to
Scotts Peak, walk to
Cockle Creek and catch
a bus back to Hobart,
or vice versa, using
a special fare.
