From 1 April, standard public transport fares will increase by 6% and a 50% off-peak discount will apply to Snapper fares, up from 25%, including concessions (child, tertiary and accessible). This means that anyone using a concession on their Snapper card gets a 50% off-peak discount on their concession fare*.

To ensure that students receive this discount, they must have the child concession loaded onto their Snapper card.* If students want to apply or check their concession, they can do this online at the Snapper website.

For a full breakdown of all fare changes and the new prices from 1 April, you can visit the Metlink website, or call 0800 801 700.
