The types of transport in Tasmania include air, antarctica base, road, rail and shipping.Air transport becomes more and more popular,because it is the fastest mode in transport. In Tasmania, the main air carriers are Jetstar Airways and Virgin Australia; Qantas, QantasLink and Regional Express Airlines.These airlines fly direct routes to Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney. Major airports include Hobart International Airport (which has not had a regular scheduled international passenger service since the 1990s) and Launceston Airport; the smaller airports, Burnie (Wynyard) and King Island, serviced by Regional Express; andDevonport, serviced by QantasLink; have services to Melbourne. Inter-Tasmanian air services are offered by Airlines of Tasmania. Until 2001,Ansett Australia operated majorly out of Tasmania to 12 destinations nationwide.
The most popular transport is road transport, there are some advantages of road transport, such as low cost and convenient. We can see road transport everywhere. In Tasmania, since the 1980s, many of the state's highways have undergone regular upgrades. These include the Hobart Southern Outlet, Launceston Southern Outlet, Bass Highway reconstruction, and the Huon Highway.
There are no passenger train services in Tasmania, but rail transport in Tasmania consists of narrow-gauge lines to all four major population centres and to mining and forestry operations on the west coast and in the northwest.
The port of Hobart is the second deepest natural port in the world, second to only Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. If you want to travel to Tasmania by shipping, the Spirit of Tasmania links the island with mainland Australia.
