SkyBus provides fast and low cost airport transfers via the Hobart Express service, operating all year round to the heart of Hobart City.

Hobart Express meets major scheduled flights, seven days per week. See the timetable for full details. The average trip time is 30 minutes.  

Tickets are available online through the SkyBus website. Alternatively, you can purchase tickets at the ticketing booth located opposite our car rental desks in the Arrivals area. If the booth is unattended, tickets can be purchased from the SkyBus driver outside our Arrivals area.
