At Metro Tasmania, our drivers tell us they stay because they feel supported and proud of the difference they make every day.

For more than 60 years, Metro has connected people and communities across Tasmania. As the state’s largest locally owned public transport provider, we offer a workplace where safety, wellbeing, and inclusion come first.

If you’re looking for meaningful work, long-term stability, and a supportive team environment, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role
As a Bus Driver at Metro, you’ll help keep Tasmania moving-safely, reliably, and with care. You’ll transport passengers to work, school, appointments, and community activities, playing a vital role in everyday life across the state.

You don’t need previous bus driving experience. If you can safely drive a car, we’ll teach you the rest. Our six-week paid training program is designed to build confidence gradually, with hands-on support, clear expectations, and experienced mentors. You’ll graduate with a Medium Rigid (Metro-specific) licence and receive ongoing guidance once you’re on the road.

You’ll never be left to figure things out alone. Our drivers are supported by clear safety procedures, strong fatigue management, modern buses, and supervisors who encourage questions and prioritise wellbeing.

We value skills gained from many backgrounds, including customer service, care roles, hospitality, retail, community work and people returning to the workforce.

Our Commitment to Inclusion
We actively encourage applications from women, career-changers and people returning to the workforce. Metro is committed to creating a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace where everyone belongs.
