Tertiary transport concessions
How to apply for discounted bus and train services if you're a full time student.
About the concession
If you are a full-time student, you may be eligible for a discount of at least 20% on bus, train and ferry fares when using your AT HOP card. For Auckland Transport (AT) purposes, being full-time means you need to be enrolled in a minimum of 100 points for the year, and 50 points for one semester. For detailed information about eligibility, see the AT Tertiary Concession Fare terms and conditions.
Services not covered by the tertiary concession in Waiheke Ferry services and tertiary shuttle services.
You can buy an AT HOP card from Munchy Mart convenience store, located on Level 0 of Kate Edger Information Commons.
If you are asked for proof of identity when travelling, present your student ID card and AT mobile app that shows your student credentials.
