Fare changes 10 July 2023
Some fares changed on 10 July 2023 to make public transport fairer, simpler, and more attractive.
Almost all trips now cost less or the same.
Under the new fare structure:
Your fare may have changed if you are an adult or adult concession passenger and travel in the non-urban area. Your fare did not change if you are a child/student.
Fares are now based on distance, no matter where you travel.
Zone boundaries are set at 10-kilometre increments. Distances are measured from the central interchanges in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.
The cost of your journey depends on how many zones you travel, up to 16 fare levels. On longer routes, multiple zones are covered by one fare level.
Yes - if you travel in the non-urban area AND are an adult or adult concession passenger.
No - if you travel in the urban area OR are a child/student passenger.

Tasmania’s previous fare structure was confusing, inconsistent and complex.
Passengers were charged different fares for trips of the same distance, depending on their location. This made the system difficult to use and understand.
Because most fares are now the same or cheaper, the new structure makes fares consistent, fairer and easier to understand. We hope this will encourage more people to enjoy the benefits of using public transport.
| Adult | Adult concession | Child/student |
Urban area | No | No | No |
Non-urban area | Yes – update default trip | Yes – update default trip | No |
When you first got your Greencard, you nominated a ‘default trip’ - the journey that you usually travel. Each time you tap on, the fare deducted is the length (in zones) of your default trip.
Default trip fares are based on zones. As non-urban zone boundaries changed, your default trip may now travel through more or fewer zones.
To make sure you pay the right fare, update your default trip to match how many zones your journey is now. You can update your default trip for Metro or Tassielink services
