INCREASE IN BUS FARES ACROSS TE TAITOKERAU FROM 01 AUGUST
Bus fares will increase across Te Taitokerau from Friday (01 August). CityLink and SchoolLink services in Whangārei will increase by $1 per journey. BusLink fares on routes around the region will increase by 0.50c per journey.
Infants up to four years of age continue to travel free of charge and concessions for Community Service Card and Gold Card holders still apply. These concessions will also be available on the Bream Bay Link and Hikurangi Link for the first time from 01 August.
The increase is due to central government requiring regional councils to find increased funding to cover bus costs. Similar increases are happening across the country.
