Total Mobility scheme Total Mobility scheme
Following the Government’s announcement, half price taxi fares continue for the Total Mobility scheme.
What is the Total Mobility scheme
The Total Mobility scheme is a national scheme which supports people who cannot use public transport to travel, all or some of the time.
In Auckland, those who are eligible get a subsidised rate on contracted taxis for door to door transport, and an accessible concession loaded on a Total Mobility AT HOP card used to pay for discounted travel on public transport.
Total Mobility customers receive a 75% discount off taxi fares, up to a maximum fare cap of $80 per trip. For trips over $80, Auckland Transport will only pay a maximum subsidy of $60 subsidy.
How does the Total Mobility discount work?
