on the anytrip app/website, you can see what type of bus your service will be once it’s begun operations!
if it says MET2XX, that indicates it’s a NCBC Downtown City Bus, which were delivered 2002-07 and only sometimes have air conditioning
all other buses should have air conditioning

there’s a stop at government house but only outbound and it services the domain really poorly.
the suburb of glebe, which is fairly dense, has poor bus service (despite being close to the city, people with mobility issues could benefit from service to glebe)
the domain needs transit, i agree

the 695 infrequency is honestly one of the biggest problems in the hobart metro network. if it were more frequent, say 15mins it would serve these areas (albeit on EDH) a lot more on par with the TUAG line to shoreline.
you can see in this image a 695 approaching tasman bridge - it’s heading there.

ravenswood netizens when they find out that their bus number also belonged to outer northern hobart once upon a lifetime

119 and 121 did a... hobart to glenorchy loop, from city to glenorchy then to bridge then gagebrook/otago... huh? and it was mon-sat, which is interesting
120 and 122 ran city to otago via glenorchy, the bridge and gagebrook (all the way), and only fri-sun?
and X7, mon-sat, gagebrook to city express

110 ran from bridgewater to glenorchy via main road (school day only)
111 and... X1 ran hobart to bridgewater via main road (mon-fri)
117 and 118 terminated in gagebrook and ran via bridgewater and main rd (7 days)
