• Additional Devonport ferry services will operate between 10:00pm and 12:30am from Downtown to Devonport on-demand.

All other public transport services will finish as per scheduled timetables. Public transport messaging will occur during the match on the Fanzone screens reminding attendees of the last scheduled services to depart the CBD:
