Gutted that government will no longer fund free public transport for under 13s and half price for under 25s after 30 April 2024. I’ve had so much feedback on how this policy has helped people. Half price will continue for Community Services Card holders so check your eligibility.

We are gutted to lose free fares for tamariki and half price fares for young people, but we have an important win to celebrate: the CSC and Total Mobility discounts are here to stay. 🎉🎉
