Off-peak travel is the way to go!

Kia ora, 

To help everyone keep their distance from others on buses and trains during June, we’re encouraging you to travel at off-peak times if you can.

Adult passengers will receive a 30% discount off standard adult AT HOP fares for travel on weekdays after 9am and before 3pm, or after 6.30pm. Tertiary Students with a tertiary concession on their HOP card will also receive a 30% discount off an Adult AT HOP fare (rather than the usual 20% tertiary discount).

We’re hoping that this will not only benefit your hip pocket but will also help make space for physical distancing on all our services during COVID-19. This way, everyone’s trip will be more comfortable.

Remember to register your AT HOP card

It makes contact tracing easy if needed. As of this week, 87% of our customers are travelling with a registered AT HOP card. If you haven’t registered yours or need to register on behalf of another person, click here.

We ask that you continue to be understanding and patient - and look forward to seeing you soon.

We continue to support Government advice. The best place to find the latest information about the COVID-19 situation in New Zealand is on the Government’s COVID-19 website.

Terms of use for AT HOP cards can be found here.
