Metro Tasmania, in collaboration with the Department of State Growth, and the local government areas we service, is committed to dignified access to public transport services. These partnerships acknowledge that some aspects of public transport, such as bus stops and shelters, and the reach and setting of routes and fares, are not within Metro’s control and influence.
