Have a weekend on us!
Metro is offering everyone the chance to travel free on its buses on the weekend of February 12 to February 14.
Events over the long weekend include Festivale in Launceston, the Hobart Regatta, Hobart Cup, the Wooden Boat Festival and a Sheffield Shield cricket match at Bellerive Oval.
Metro is encouraging people to use buses not just to go to and from major events on this weekend, but to use regular services between other destinations – to see family and friends, go to the beach, go to shopping centres and so on.
The availability of the free fare services varies from region to region. As Monday February 14th is a public holiday in Southern Tasmania, the fare free services extend to this day in Hobart and surrounds.
*Standard fares apply to Metro services in Launceston and Burnie on Monday February 14th.
Due to the number of events being held over this weekend, Metro has extending the number of services operating in Hobart and Launceston and is operating a Saturday timetable in both regions on Sunday February 13th. A Saturday timetable will also operate in Hobart only on Monday February 14th.
Details about transport arrangements specific to events will be posted on the Metro website soon.
