Snapper on before 7am for Early Bird special (Off-Peak) bus fares trial
Metlink is introducing an Early Bird special (Off-Peak) bus fares concession trial from Monday 10 Feb.
The Early Bird special provides off-peak Snapper fares for Metlink bus services prior to 7am on working days. The Early Bird off-peak fare will be available for a trial period of four months from 10 February until 12 June 2020. Off-peak Snapper fares are 25% cheaper than normal Snapper fares.
The Early Bird special is an addition to existing off-peak fares, which already apply for Adult Snapper customers between 9am and 3pm and after 6.30pm on working days, and weekends.
What are we trying to achieve? We want to see if cheaper fares will encourage bus commuters to travel earlier in the day, when there is more capacity available on buses. Our ultimate aim is to spread demand over a wider period during the morning commute, and to relieve pressure on heavily used services in the peak period. That will lead to better services for all.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
