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.

Vic government encourages people to take public transport rather than driving their own private cars, but the public transports (trams,bus,trains) are always late, less frequent, i wonder 90% of the resident can get home by the last transport of the day if all of us are taking public transport. How ironic is that!
Bad transport infrastructure is the main cause. It is useless to rebrand, change management company for the train/ tram.
