I feel the council needs to address the issue here, do we can obtain public transport back to these streets. It's very unfortunate that there is no longer any busses going up these Hills. Especially of those that were not informed about the initial survey.

Metro are missing out a big section of Mount Stuart on the new route! The bus will no longer pass my neighbourhood requiring me to walk up and down multiple hills to reach the nearest stop.

This will mean it will take me an hours travel to get to and from work in the city each day! Ridiculous for a suburb so close to town that you can not provide a effective service.

It saddens me to see this change being made.
This will greatly inconvenience myself and many others living in the neighbourhood. Being the only form of public transport in Tasmania, the community heavily rely on Metro to deliver frequent and efficient services to areas around Hobart, especially those close to the city. Unfortunately it seems that this new route is the result of merging several potential separate routes, leading to a longer transit time for many, and in my case, extra travelling UP STEEP HILLS by foot. This will be of particular concern to the elderly and those who have impaired capacity to walk by foot (such as myself).

Especially during peak hours, the Mount Stuart/West Hobart buses are already quite full - so to increase area covered by a single route and to decrease services does not seem like the right move to meet the demands of the community.

It is important to encourage sustainability and usage pf public transport. Other changes the system to address this should be praised, however this should not come at the cost to compromise other services. Please see that these changes to the Mount Stuart route will not take place.

Kind regards,

Olivia Chung

Paris' metro is beyond awesome. They forked out a tonne of cash to get it going everywhere, frequently and reliably. So, naturally, everyone is using it because it goes everywhere, often and on time. That's what Hobart metro need to do and then more people will use it and it might actually start making the state money. If they cut the routes more, it'll just make less people use it.

Yes, I know, there are a gazillion more people in Paris than in Hobart, but the same principle applies. If its a good, quick, cheap and reliable service, it'll attract more customers.

I rely on metro buses for transport every day. You have made our route much slower, less direct and less frequent than it is currently and you are charging us more to use it. This new proposal is not safe for people walking home at night, or for the elderly or children using the route. There are also now no buses allowing patrons to get into town before 7am, again inconveniencing many people. Please reconsider your changes.

For a government who is supposedly concerned about encouraging a healthier society, therefore keeping medicare costs down, keeping costs down for road maintenance and providing services for the elderly, the mind boggles as to how they justify cutting bus routes rather than increasing them? How can people be encouraged to use the bus when the bus services are becoming less and less reliable? You must first build a reliable and good bus service BEFORE people will feel safe enough to not use/own their car

If its difficult to get a bus up summerhill rd and through the school zone the timetable needs to be reviewed to avoid the peak parking times around the school.

Normal residents parking cars on both sides of the street in summerhill rd and clift street makes all passing traffic difficult and many residents park half on the footpath which makes pram walking dangerous as you have to go out on the rd. A council review of the area would be great to make it possible to keep our bus. My young children cannot walk to the very top of summerhill where we live, so no more bus for our family if it changes!

I and other family members (at least 3 others- Luke, Anna and Abbygale) use this service most days both to and from the city for work and shopping purposes. I would hate to see it go as it was a deciding factor for my/our recent move to this location- I would be very disadvantaged if it disappears as I do not drive and rely on public transport to get me and my shopping around! Thankyou.

As a retired Occupational Therapist who spent a decade in practice in the North Hobart and West Hobart I am acutely aware of the needs of residents to have regular accesible transport to manage the hilly terrain. This should include buses as an option. Without this there is a real problem of isolation including less access to shops, education, employment and social opportunities. Metro is a community service. It should provide a service in this area.

I don't understand how the change benefits Metro Tas or commuters to have the bus divert from West Hobart, through the busy traffic across Elizabeth Street to Argyle Street. It seems slow and pointless and I will no longer be using that route.

We need a service in summerhill road as we are in a central area of hobart.
The street is very steep and hard to ude for young children and older residents. Why should we be disadvantaged with no service in a difficult area when metro continue to service easily accessed areas.

I have been travelling with my now 10yo son on this service from the top of Liverpool st to Mt Stuart Primary school for a number of years now and it is a fantastic 10min trip. If the proposed service goes ahead we will not be able to catch the bus any longer. We would require a bus into town and another to Mt Stuart, we would not get to school on time. Have Metro looked at keeping the service and sending the bus on the Summerhill Rd Hillside Cresent loop? Then part of the hill will be serviced by bus and the walking distance for children would be safe and not too far from school to manage. I imagine disabled and elderly patrons who use this service may find this alternative acceptable also.

This service is extremely important to people living in the area particularly due to the steepness of the road for the elderly and those that rely on it, namely school children who may then rely on parents which builds up traffic on these narrow streets. Parents may also not be able to assist school children. I also personally use this service regularly on route to the University Sandy Bay campus.

The Summerhill Rd bus service is an integral part of the community which is very diverse. IT provides transport for the elderly who otherwise would have to walk up a very steep incline from Mellifont St. There are also many children who don't drive who utilise this service. It provides important access to the much used Knocklofty reserve and to Mt Stuart Primary School. It seems ridiculous to close this much-used route.

I catch this bus daily to get to and from work using the stop on summer hill rd and have for years. If the route is changed this will force me to have to walk up a steep hill with groceries regularly, I will be forced to walk in the dark late at night by myself and this is scary and unsafe for a young girl like myself. This will be a big inconvenience for me and other individuals that get off the bus on Summer Hill rd. Almost every time I get off/on the bus there is another person doing so as well, usually an elderly person or other women so I know this would inconvenience others as well as myself. I worry for the elderly as I find it exhausting walking up that hill I can't imagine how difficult it will be for them. I also don't see how the change is necessary or how it will benefit Metro. Please explain why you are wanting to inconvenience residents that depend on this service. Thank you

Proposed changes to West Hobart bus route will be disadvantageous to the elderly and children in particular. Carrying shopping uphill will be a nightmare. Walking uphill in the dark will also be horrible. The proposed changes are a total backward step for a modern city which should be committed to providing good public transport for everyone and also be doing everything possible to keep private cars away from the city.

Look, it'd be though that I'm not deeply affected by these changes as I live near Mellifont Street. This being said the Summerhill Rd stop is closest to my house which is instrumental when in a hurry or feeling overly lethargic. This service offered also allows members of the public a shorter and more convenient route into upper Mt Stuart and Lenah Valley which is very useful. If this service is taken away many members of the community will be negatively impacted. This isn't just about having to walk an extra block, but about health and overall convenience, and as the West Hobart/Mt Stuart community is generally made up of an older populace this could and will impact on their ability to use the bus service.

I think it is an absolute shame when a service for the general public does not consider the welfare of its clientele - especially the elderly and those who have to travel on public transport
