Kia ora,

Good news – now you can top up online and ride within 1 hour

When you top up your AT HOP card online, it will now be ready to use on buses within an hour.

This is already the case for train and ferry trips, so we’re excited to bring this new service to your bus journeys too.

Previously, online top ups would take 24-72 hours to be ready, as buses needed to return to their depot to access wifi.

We’ve been in the process of connecting all of our buses with 3G/4G connectivity.

Now that the whole fleet is connected, online tops are processed much faster.

Other online actions you might do like adding a concession to your AT HOP card or setting up an auto top-up will also be ready within 1 hour now.
