Public transport about to get cheaper and easier
Auckland Transport is introducing a new zone-based public transport fare system that will make travelling in Auckland cheaper.
The new system starts on 14 August for all bus and train services except the airport SkyBus.
Single fare and transfers
If you use an AT HOP card you will be charged a single fare for each journey, even if you take several buses or trains to get to your destination. Just tag on and off each bus or train as you go, and at the end of your journey you will be charged a single fare.
You can use up to five buses or trains within four hours, with up to 30 minutes transfer time
between each trip.
Child weekend discount
A new AT HOP child weekend fare is also being introduced, to make weekend family outings more affordable by public transport.
A child paying with an AT HOP card, with a child concession applied, can travel anywhere in Auckland, making up to five bus or train trips over a four-hour period with up to 30 minutes transfer time between each trip, and will pay a one-zone fare regardless of how many zones they cross.
New AT HOP day pass includes inner-harbour ferries
A new AT HOP day pass costing $18 provides unlimited travel until midnight on the day it is first used on all buses (except SkyBus) and trains, plus inner-harbour ferry services.
Inner-harbour ferries are Devonport, Stanley Bay, Bayswater, Northcote Point and Birkenhead services.
