Great news for public transport!
From Sunday 17 November you can pay for Auckland Transport buses, ferries, and trains with your contactless debit or credit card, smartphone or device.
Auckland Transport accepts contactless debit cards, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or UnionPay cards. We also accept Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay in the digital wallet of your smart device.
You will pay standard adult HOP fares when using credit and debit cards, or mobile devices. There are no transaction fees for New Zealand issued cards. For discounts (like students), make sure you still use your AT HOP cards!
Separate the card from your wallets/phone or have your device ready before tagging on and off. This ensures you are paying with the correct card.
Tag on and off with the same card or device for each trip throughout your journey. This ensures you pay the correct fare.
