Guy Barnett,Minister for Veterans’ Affairs
The Tasmanian Government will again offer free Metro bus travel on ANZAC Day to Veterans, War Widows and other service personnel.
Providing this service continues this tradition over previous years, and is a small token of gratitude in recognition of the significant contribution our service men and women have made serving Australia.
Members of the Australian Defence Force – the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Airforce – are all entitled to free travel on ANZAC Day provided they are in uniform.
For Veterans and War Widows to be eligible for free travel on Metro service they should:
- Wear their uniform; or
- Wear their service medals; or
- Wear an ex-service association, returned from active service of war widows badge; or
- Present their DVA card.
As Thursday 25 April is a public holiday, a Sunday/Public Holiday timetable will be operating on this day.
Due to ANZAC Day ceremonies, road closures will occur in a number of areas. As a result, passengers may be affected by temporary service alterations at various times.
