The city of Hobart, Tasmania is served by a wide variety of transport. While the city's main form of transport is private transport on the road network, transport is also available by bus, ferry and aircraft. A suburban train service operated between Hobart and Brighton from the 1870s until 31 December 1974.[1] There has been, however, talk in recent years of reinstating a train service in the northern suburbs.[2][3][4]
