Hobart (HBA): the SkyBus Hobart City Express, 05:00 to 23:00

SkyBus is the airport transfer. It runs 05:00 to 23:00, tickets are sold at kiosks by the baggage carousels or from the driver, and payment is card only.

  • SkyBus runs the Hobart City Express, and it is the airport transfer rather than one option among several.
  • Departures run 05:00 to 23:00, about 170 scheduled calls in the published timetable.
  • The stop is called Hobart Airport, roughly half a kilometre from the runway reference point and at the terminal.
  • Tickets are sold from two kiosks inside the terminal near the baggage carousels, from the driver, online and in the SkyBus app.
  • Payment is credit card only. There is no cash option on this service.
  • Contactless tap and go works for one-way adult fares.
  • In the city, e-kiosks are at the Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre opposite Stop 3, and at the Mona Ferry Terminal near Stop 2.
  • Some of the fleet is electric, the first fully electric buses to run in Tasmania.

The service

  • SkyBus operates the Hobart City Express between the airport and central Hobart. It is a fixed price express coach with luggage storage on board.
  • Departures run 05:00 to 23:00, about 170 scheduled calls in the operator's published timetable data, with inbound and outbound directions.
  • The airport stop is named Hobart Airport and sits at the terminal.

Tickets

  • Two e-kiosks sit inside the terminal near the baggage carousels. You can buy and board immediately.
  • You can also buy from the driver, online, or through the SkyBus app, where tickets are kept in a ticket wallet.
  • Payment is credit card only. This is the thing to know before you land.
  • Contactless tap and go is available for one-way adult fares.

The city end

  • Buy in central Hobart at the Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre, opposite Stop 3, or at the Mona Ferry Terminal near Stop 2.
  • The Mona ferry runs up the Derwent to the Museum of Old and New Art, which is the main reason many visitors are in Hobart at all.

Context

  • Hobart Airport is about 17 km east of the city, across the Derwent at Cambridge.
  • There is no scheduled Metro Tasmania city bus at the terminal. SkyBus is the public option.
  • Tasmania's first two fully electric buses were put into service on this route.
