FREE Child Weekend Fares - from Saturday 7 September
Good news is, AT is making Child Weekend Fares free and extending the offer to some ferries as well! Children 5-15, inclusive, travelling with a registered AT HOP card can travel free on trains, buses and ferries* on weekends and on public holidays. Children under five already travel free of charge. This is fantastic news for families, as it means from 7 September, they’ll be able to take the kids on adventures all over Auckland on the train, bus or ferry*, absolutely free. Now’s the time to make sure your children have AT HOP cards and register them online. By registering, Child Concessions will be automatically loaded when you enter their date of birth, and they’ll be able to take advantage of Free Child Weekend Fares. You’ll need to tag on and off, but there will be no charge. *Skybus and some ferry services excluded.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
