Stand on the footpath at the designated bus stop. Many stops are serviced by more than one bus route, so make sure you watch carefully for your bus. The destination sign above the bus front window shows the route number and destination. Some buses have destination information on a board placed in the window.
If the bus approaching your stop is the one you want, remain on the curb and indicate to the bus driver, by a clear wave of your arm, that you intend to board.
Your card is quick and easy to use. Just tag on at the start of your trip, and tag off at the end. Your fare will be automatically deducted from your card’s balance.
If you're travelling with someone without an AT HOP card or contactless method of payment on a train or a bus, you can also use your HOP Money to buy a paper ticket for them. Just let your bus driver know when you board and full cash fare price applies.
You can view your remaining AT HOP credit in the AT Mobile app. The app also helps you plan and track journeys across buses, trains, and ferries in Auckland. You'll also get information on bike and scooter hire, disruptions, and the best ways to get around on foot.
