We are currently working through upcoming changes to public transport fares announced in the government's 2023 budget. We will update you as soon as we know more.

You can still enjoy a 50% discount from 1 April to 30 June 2023 on AT bus, train and ferry travel fares and concessions. This includes Devonport, but excludes Waiheke and Rakino Island ferry services.

For the same period, the price of a new AT HOP card (except pre-paid HOP cards) will also be halved from $10 to $5 - a minimum top up of $1 is required with card purchase.

For more details, visit Half Price Discount on Public Transport Fares.
