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.

Try living in Exeter. One Saturday morning to Launceston and one in the afternoon returning. Nothing on Sundays. At least weekday services are better now Manions are running them but why they need to use the large buses during the day when there are only 1 or 2 passengers is beyond me.
