Free Hamilton buses for youth this holidays!
City buses will be free within the city for young people (aged 18 years and under) over the upcoming school holidays.
This follows a decision by Hamilton City Council in June to make buses free for young people on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays for travel within Hamilton boundaries – a service which started in July 2019.
Free youth travel is available on any bus within the Hamilton City boundary from Saturday 28 September until Sunday 13 October.
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)
