Top Twenty Tasmanian Towns - Part One Towns 20 to 11

[@TheHobartAviationFan]

Very nicely done! Can't wait for the rest! Hope tourism Tas sees this and decides to use it or promote it

[@tasmanianbusjourneys9406]

Thank you for your support. Doing the top twenty tas towns has been a project I have wanted to do for a while and I am so pleased I have managed to get it out. I will certainly let folks know about this one and depending on the response I may do related KZbins appealing to travelers, as to be honest there is only a limited number of bus routes in Tasmania. I don't intend to do metropolitan bus routes in any detail as how to use them is well covered by the bus operators. Thanks again Pete

@@tasmanianbusjourneys9406 I can definitely see there being an increasing demand for information regarding getting around Tassie by bus. Hopefully the right people find you and reach out

Thanks well the whole idea of the Channel is to promote regional and near urban bus services so the State Government wont be tempted to reduce services. Already it appears we have and will lose some Hobart urban services. I have not actively gone out and promoted the Channel some businesses have my business card etc. Just have too much on to do KZbins and promote the Channel. thanks Pete

Thanks for this invaluable information on PT in Tasmania. On the mainland we've become environmentally conscious and now only drive our small car when absolutely necessary, preferring to take PT or ride our bikes every time. We will be using your info to form our next holiday in Tassie starting at the end of November 2024. Edited to add: that a suggestion from Tasmania Without a Car, FB page set me on to your channel. Living in regional Victoria and loving a cool climate AND having now retired, I'll be very pleased to travel around Tassie utilising your suggestions. Now...let's hope they get this ferry business sorted out.

Thanks for your message. It makes little sense to drive when there is an alternative avaliable. Tasmanian buses are not that frequent but they go consistently 365 days a year. It is important that they are used and that is one of the aims of our channel to have more passengers on Tasmanian buses. Enjoy your bus Journeys Pete

This has become one of our favorite KZbin vlogs. My wife and I have traveled to Tassie several times since retiring and look forward to our next trip and using the info you provide as an alternative to renting a car for our entire stay.

Thank you so much. On the first day of my retirement 5 years ago I jumped on a bus to Geeveston and I loved the bus journey. After failing in my attempt to write a book about it all I have found pleasure in doing these KZbins. In terms of Tassie travel we find it a good mix to use buses with car use depending where you go and what you want to see. The elevated views from a bus, good bus driving and mostly lovely fellow travelers make busing fun and at least currently, highly economical on half priced concession fares. Cheers Pete

Great list. Has me thinking about what's included in the top 10.

[@tasmanianbusjourneys9406]

Thanks Treeapricot. Would you like to guess what towns will be in the top 10 and what will by the bronze, silver and Gold positions ?

2 busses to st helens during school days one at 130pm and another bus 415pm

[@tasmanianbusjourneys9406]

I prefer the depart 1:30 Launceston service as it carries less people (more room) and a little bit easier to transfer to onwards services at St Marys. It also means you get into St Helens at the civilized time of 4pm cheers Pete

Why not name the video chapters after the Towns? That way people can go back & look at their favourite bits.

[@tasmanianbusjourneys9406]

Hey Brett Good Point and something I am pondering about. Lots of viewers do like the suspense of the countdown which would be diminished if I put in the town info. Those with favourite towns can easily look at my other KZbins about journeys and towns where there is much more detail. There is also that element who get crabby if the town does not make the list and wont watch any of it ? Having said all that there probably is good scope once the excitement has dies down to either provide full information or provide a combined parts 1 and 2 edition which does have full chapter info. cheers Pete

[@brettharrison8280]

@@tasmanianbusjourneys9406 it wouldn't be hard to make 2 versions if the suspense factor really is significant.

[@tasmanianbusjourneys9406]

You read my mind. Soon I will do a revised combo version featuring a couple of popular towns as well full chapter headings. Cheers Pete
