If construction were cheap, you’d just build light rail here to cover all future needs. Since it isn’t, a busway is perfectly suitable for a city of 250 000 people. The trick is when the new stadium comes in, we’ve seen at Woolloongabba what it’s like trying to empty out a crowd of tens of thousands of people with regular buses alone. So maybe a few Brisbane-style bi-artics are in order for special events and peak hour trunk routes.
Hobart actually does have some articulated buses I have a few pictures from when I visited. I took a few pictures of them. Although Personally I hope they don’t go through with building the stadium in Hobart, it seems way too tight to fit it in where they want to put it.
Hobart also calls their buses “Metro”, as part of Metro Tasmania. https://www.metrotas.com.au/
Melbourne calls their trains ’ Metro ’ Hobart calls their buses ’ Metro ’ two wrongs don’t make it right hey? Utter farce!
This is true.
Adelaide also calls their network the Adelaide Metro. I suppose it is ‘aspirational’ branding? 
I think the thing with Melbourne/Adelaide/Hobart ‘Metro’ is because they’re metropolitan services (as opposed to country services) - not necessarily pretending to be a metro as in the mode
