Close to 180 bus services will be cancelled across Hobart every day for the foreseeable future as Metro continues to grapple with a growing driver shortage.
From Monday next week, multiple routes will be ‘temporarily suspended’ at certain times during the day, with Metro hoping to “improve certainty and reliability” across the network.

Metro CEO Katie Cooper said the adjustments will only affect “less frequented services” and will be spread across the city to lessen the impact on specific areas, while dedicated school buses will remain unaffected.
“This is another tool in our toolbox as we continue to implement longer-term measures to recruit and retain bus operators as we work to progressively restore services,” she said.
“It was a decision not taken lightly, but is necessary in order to provide greater certainty and reliability for our customers.”
