What is the AT HOP card?
The AT HOP card is a reusable prepay smart card for travel on buses, trains and ferries around Auckland. It gives you savings on fares – you get at least 20 per cent discount off adult single trip cash fares (See Auckland Transport for full details). It's great even if you are a part-time student and not eligible for a tertiary concession.
The AT HOP card lets you load a secondary or tertiary student concession for discounted fares.
How do I use the AT HOP card?
Use your AT HOP card to tag on before you board your bus, train or ferry, then tag off when you finish your journey. Always remember to tag on and off or you may be charged a penalty fare of up to $20 depending on the service used and the distance travelled.
Am I eligible for a student concession?
If you are a full time tertiary student, you are entitled to a tertiary concession on your AT HOP card.
