HOW TO USE THE BUS

If you haven’t caught a bus before, check out information at www.orc.govt.nz/bus101 

It’s a good idea to look at the bus timetables in advance and plan your route. 

Bus fares are $1.50 for children and youth aged from 5 to 18 with a registered Bee Card, for a single trip. Bee Cards can be purchased for $5 with a minimum $5 top up, either at www.beecard.co.nz or at a local Bee Card retailer listed here www.orc.govt.nz/bee-card.  

For up to the minute alerts on bus disruptions on specific routes on your mobile, go to www.orc.govt.nz/public-transport/notifications-and-alerts and for real-time tracking of the bus download the Transit app.
