Keep Auckland moving
Fuel supply pressures can make it more expensive to get around. Auckland’s public transport network is here to help keep the city moving. Buses, trains and ferries are a reliable and affordable way to travel, with plenty of capacity across the network. Fares remain unchanged, offering greater price certainty while helping ease pressure on fuel use across the region.
There are simple ways to save money right now, including a weekly fare cap, reduced fares for Community Services Card holders, tertiary student concessions and free weekend travel for children.
Small changes can make a difference. Swapping just one or two car trips a week for public transport or walking or cycling for shorter journeys can save you money, help keep Auckland moving and support a more resilient transport system for everyone.
How to keep moving during the national fuel supply response
While Auckland is at Phase 1 of the national fuel supply response, people can continue to rely on public transport to get where they need to go. Buses, trains and ferries are operating as normal, with no changes to routes, timetables or fares. With fuel prices increasing, public transport offers a predictable and practical way to keep moving while using less fuel.
Know your options before you travel:
Use the journey planner on the AT Mobile app or website to:
• Plan your route end to end
• Check real-time arrivals
• See trip costs
• View estimated capacity on bus and train services
Planning ahead can help you travel with confidence, especially if you’re using a new route or travelling at a different time of day.
