Buses need to run more often & throughout the weekend in Tasmania before most people will start to use them regularly. The services are too restricted in their time-slots to be of any real choice with public transport. I live in Cambridge & transport from 16 kms to Hobart is poor at best. I lived in Lauderdale & the service their was far better yet 8 kms further. Weekends, well there is no weekends because the bus services on weekends are a joke & almost non-existent. The Gov't in Tas needs to run these services reliably & consistently.

you'd be surprised, but even in Brisbane the bus service is lacking. There are some routes, which will be the only ones servicing a certain area/suburb, which are unreliable and have erratic timetables. It always frustrated me so much, the amount of time I spent waiting for buses.
