Free bus rides for revellers
Auckland revellers can catch the bus home for free after toasting Christmas with a few drinks next weekend.
Auckland Transport is offering party goers and Christmas shoppers free public transport to get home on December 18 and December 19.
From 4pm next Friday, you can take the train, bus and some ferries to get home safely from your festivities as part of AT's Home Free promotion.
Auckland Transport’s Group Manager Metro Services, Stacey van der Putten said Home Free has been extended this year to cover all day next Saturday.
“It’s been a tough year for many businesses so this gives Aucklanders an ideal opportunity to use public transport to complete their Christmas shopping and to come into the city to enjoy the yachting," van der Putten said.
Excluded from the Home Free scheme are Waiheke ferries, tourist and car ferries and Skybus.
Devonport ferries are excluded from the offer on December 19.
