A Little Courtesy - Metro Tasmania

Small moments of courtesy make a big difference

More Tasmanians are choosing to travel by Metro bus to get to work, school, appointments, shops, community activities and home.

Every day, people across Tasmania show patience and courtesy as we share the road. We’re celebrating those small acts of consideration and the difference they make.

When you slow down, give a Metro bus room to move safely or allow it to re-enter traffic, you’re helping the people on board get where they need to go.

A little courtesy keeps Tassie moving.

One bus. Many journeys.

Every Metro bus carries people on their way to places and people that matter to them.

It might be a student getting to school, someone heading to work, a neighbour travelling to an appointment, a family accessing services, or a friend making their way home.

Different people. Different journeys. One bus helping them get there.

When we think about the people behind every journey, it’s easy to see how a small act of courtesy can make a big difference.

Showing courtesy around buses is simple

Small acts of courtesy help everyone get where they need to go.

That might mean slowing down when a bus is indicating, leaving room for it to safely re-enter traffic, taking care around bus stops, or showing a little extra patience on busy roads.

These simple actions help support safer, smoother journeys for the people travelling on board and those sharing the road around them.

Thanks for helping keep Tassie moving.

Thanks for slowing down

Metro buses make frequent stops to help people get where they need to go.

When you slow down and give a bus space to safely re-enter traffic, you're helping the people on board continue their journey.

It only takes a moment, but it can make a big difference.

Thanks for giving buses room

Buses carry dozens of people at a time and need space to move safely through traffic and re-enter the road from bus stops.

Giving a bus room to move helps support safer, smoother journeys for everyone sharing the road.

Thanks for taking care around bus stops

Bus stops are places where people connect with work, school, appointments, services and community activities.

People may be getting on and off buses, travelling with children, carrying shopping or taking their time.

Taking extra care around bus stops helps everyone travel safely.

A shared message for safer, more courteous roads

A little courtesy keeps Tassie moving is a Metro Tasmania community campaign supported by organisations that share our commitment to safer roads, stronger communities and respectful road use.

Together, we're encouraging the small acts of consideration that help buses and the people on board get where they need to go safely.

Thank you to our campaign supporters for helping share this positive community message.
