Half price public transport fares

Public transport services across Aotearoa New Zealand will have half price fares from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023.

This exciting scheme will support whānau to stay connected and is a great way to travel around your local region.

If you are already a user of public transport then you don’t need to do anything to get the discount. It will automatically be applied to all public transport fares; all you have to do is jump onboard. If you are thinking of changing the way you get around, then this is the perfect opportunity to try a bus or train.

Discounted fares are applied to all core transport services (conditions apply). This includes:

• buses
• metro trains (including Te Huia and Capital Connection)
• total mobility (Total Mobility clients get a 50% discount on their normal subsidised fare. As usual, any amount over the regional cap is paid by the user in full.)
• some ferries (see regional information below).
