You might be eligible for a public transport discount and not even realise. Concessions are available for children, secondary/tertiary students, over 65’s, people with disabilities, and those with a Community Services card - helping reduce the cost of each trip.
It’s quick and easy to check using the AT concession eligibility checker.

Community Connect concession: The Community Connect concession is designed to support Aucklanders with a Community Services card by making public transport more affordable.

7-day $50 Fare cap: Even if you don’t qualify for a concession, you can still save. With AT’s 7-day $50 fare cap, your public transport costs are locked in. No matter how often you travel on buses, trains and inner harbour ferries, you’ll pay no more than $50 for those 7 days. That makes now a good time to take those extra public transport trips, as they may cost less than you think - or nothing at all - once you’ve hit the cap.
Fareshare: Fareshare is a workplace employee benefit that helps reduce the cost of public transport for employees. If your employer is part of the Fareshare programme, you pay a discounted fare, and your employer covers the rest. Some workplaces subsidise travel on weekdays, while others support travel for the full seven day week. It’s designed to make using public transport more affordable for regular commuting. If you’re unsure whether your workplace is enrolled, check with your employer or HR team.
