Who can buy the Hui Pass
The Hui Pass is for business event organisers who want to give their delegates an easy way to get around Auckland on public transport.
There is a minimum bulk purchase of 50 cards at $20 per card.
Benefits of the Hui Pass for delegates
The Hui Pass allows for 5 days of unlimited train and bus travel in Auckland.
It can be used on any AT operated bus or train service in the Auckland area, including the Airport Link bus.
It offers affordable convenience for central Auckland travel between venues, hotels and attractions, as well as the experience of commuting like a local.
Delegates can continue to use the Hui Pass after 5 days by topping up the card and paying regular fares.
Ferry services are not included, however topping up the card with money will enable use on specified ferry services.

Customising Hui Passes
Event organisers can customise the Hui Passes (HOP cards) with a unique design, or event or sponsor branding.
The event organiser needs to send the artwork when they order the pass (within the order form). Auckland Transport will arrange for the Hui Passes to be customised with their artwork before mailing.
Customised Hui Passes cost an extra $3.65 plus GST per card.
You need to send the artwork in a high-resolution PDF and print-ready format with all fonts outlined.
The file size must be 86mm by 54mm with 2mm bleed around the perimeter for a full-size image.
Only the front of the Hui Pass can be customised. The magnetic strip, unique serial number and card information must be visible and unchanged for operational purposes.
