Do you have your Student Greencard ?

Don't lose your Greencard - ask your Phoenix driver for a free bag tag which is a sturdy card holder with a keyring for attaching to schoolbags.

Whats happened - the first roll out of Greencards were sent to all students on Metro letterhead which confused many students on which Phoenix would be providing their bus services.

The information contained in the letter also was misread by many students and we have found that in some instances, students/parents have placed credit to the card but Phoenix currently have no facility to remove credit from the card to pay for travel.

The Greencard has 'Metro' printed on the front with many students again believing that Metro would be providing the service.  While the Transport Commission authorised Metro Tasmania to issue the Greencard, the presence of the Metro name and logo on the face of the Greencard does not mean there have been any changes to current local services.

Phoenix will honour the card and provided you present it each time you board the bus, you will be charged no more than $1.00 per trip.  If you are entitled to free travel, your Greencard will have a number in large type on the reverse side.  When you show the reverse side to the driver, if you are eligible, you will not be charged a fare.

If you have any queries on timetables or pickup points please contact Phoenix Coaches.

If you have any queries or comments on the use of the Greencard, please call the Passenger Transport Services Branch of the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resourses (DIER) on 6233 4953.
