Due to key building developments and construction in the Hobart CBD, there have been additional disruptions to Metro services in the Hobart City interchange (from 13 May 2018) to ensure we can operate efficiently and safely.
On 13 May 2018 the following changes took effect:
Eastern shore services
- Stop J (Macquarie St) has closed and relocated to the eastern side of the Hobart City interchange near Collins St where stops G and H were previously located.
- Stop M (Franklin Square) has closed and relocated to 103 Macquarie St, opposite Franklin Square.
- Services that used the previous stops J and M have been redistributed across the two new departure points.
- Eastern shore timetables remain the same despite the new departure locations, except for one route 664 service and one route 665 service.
Northern suburbs services
- Stops G and H located on the eastern side of the Hobart City interchange have closed as the area is used for the new eastern shore stop J.
- Northern suburbs services that used stops G and H have been redistributed:
- West Hobart and Mt Stuart route 540 now commence from stop F. There are some timetable changes to route 540 services.
- Lutana, Goodwood and Central Ave (East Moonah) routes 560 to 562 now commence from stop M (relocated to 103 Macquarie St). There is a timetable change to some route 562 services.
