Discover by Bus

Pay for Auckland public transport your way. You can use your AT HOP card, contactless debit card, credit card, smartphone or smartwatch. Each person travelling must tag on and off with their own contactless card or smart device, so you will not be able to pay for someone else using a contactless method. You can use your AT HOP card to pay for another person, just let your bus driver know when you board.

AT HOP cards can be purchased at specific retailers below. Or you can now buy a pre-loaded AT HOP card from a vending machine for $25. This includes $20 of travel credit and can be found at:
