Travelling with your AT HOP monthly pass

Tag on and tag off

So that you’re charged the correct fare, you must tag on at the start of your journey and tag off at the end. If you fail to tag on or off, you will be charged the default fare.

Using HOP credit with your monthly pass

We suggest that you maintain a small HOP balance in addition to your monthly pass. HOP credit can be used to cover travel not included in your monthly pass.

If your HOP card balance is negative, you will not be able to use your card or your monthly pass until you top up your card.
