[TAS] Free UTAS Student Travel during "O-Week" with Metro Tasmania (Launceston Only)

Following free travel before 7am in Hobart over the past few weeks, for O-week, Metro Tasmania is offering free travel in Launceston for UTAS students on selected routes between the CBD and UTAS campus via Mowbray and Newnham.

Simply show your UTAS student ID when you board a route 6, 7, 8 or 10 service between Monday 26 February and Friday 2 March to travel free!

Buses from Launceston to the University via Mowbray run every 10-20 minutes, so there’s no fuss if you miss the bus.

Turn Up and GO works by combining a number of routes to form a high frequency service travelling between the Launceston CBD and the University of Tasmania via Mowbray and Inveresk. It connects both Newnham and Inveresk campuses.

If it is anything like the Hobart prior to 7am offer, once you've proven your eligibility by showing your UTAS ID, the driver will wave you through for free without requiring you to tap on.

Additionally, if you haven't already got a Metro Greencard, Metro are running a stall at the Newnham Campus tomorrow;

If you’re studying full time at UTAS this year, you’re eligible for an adult concession Greencard, which offers a flat $1.84 fare, a low daily cap of $2.90 or $5.60 in the urban area, and a 20% discount in the non-urban areas of Burnie and Hobart!

To get yours, click here or come and say hello at our Marketplace stall on Tuesday 27 February 2018 at Newnham campus (10am to 2pm).
