MerseyLink, Manions' Coaches and Redline timetables will all be adjusted to include new stops in Latrobe and South Burnie, with off-highway intercity, stops now available on request.
Infrastructure and Transport Minister Michael Ferguson said the changes meant it would be easier to connect to express services between Burnie and Devonport, and intercity services between Devonport, Launceston, and Hobart.
He said West Tamar routes 780, 782, 784, 788 operated by Manions' Coaches have all been changed based off community feedback.
Burnie mayor Steve Kons said with many of the city's residents relying on public transport he welcomed the state government's decision.
