NEW FARES
From 1st July, the fare structure reverts back to the single fare structure that was in place prior to the half price and age-based concession support that the Government provided.
There will be one standard Bee Card fare and one cash fare regardless of passenger age ie. $2.40 per trip in Hamilton.
The weekly payable fare cap will be reintroduced and will be reduced to 6.5 trips for youth aged 5-18 years and remain at nine trips for adults (of the repeated daily journey). As an example around Hamilton, those aged 5-18 years will pay no more that $15.60 within 1 zone for the week.
Youth fare capping will automatically activate if the Bee Card is registered with the child’s name and date of birth.
Community Connect (Community Services Card) and SuperGold concessions will continue – please direct any eligibility queries to the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).
