Navigating Auckland's Bus System AT Hop | Public Transit Guide

Hello & welcome! Today's video is all about Auckland's bus system. I've been living in Auckland for the last 2 weeks and have taken the bus to and from work, to the CBD and all about town. Leave me a comment below with any questions and I'll do my best to help! Cheers!

The AT app on the phone is quite useful, real time boards on the stop, and shows the route it takes

I always love watching your informative and realistic vlogs.

Very useful information explained easily.

I was a tourist there for a week and used the hop card to get around. The one thing I found strange was that the bus stop was sometimes 500 m or more away from major destinations. Like the bus stop to the transport museum (motat) was 500 m away. And a school I visited, the closest bus stop was a kilometre away. Just found that odd.

Thanks for the video btw. I watched this before I went there.

Nice info ! I will be in Auckland for 1 day and intend to use the bus 🚌.. I found this info on the AT/Hop web site
*Make as many transfers as you like between buses, trains and ferries. Just make sure you tag on within 30 minutes of tagging off your previous service and complete this journey within four hours*
30 mins, I hope the bus does not run late for a transfer.
In Hawaii the bus has a 2hr 30min transfer window, very generous, that came in very handy when we holiday there 🌺
Here in Sydney I have no idea what the transfer window is because I never use the bus.

Can't wait for your train review, cause it's currently pretty bad 😂

Hello Brittany, how are you?
I ask you. If you have to make a combination between bus and train, when you get off the bus do you swipe the card, and when you get on and off the train do you swipe them again? I mean, do you swipe the card 4 times?
or only when you get on the bus and get off the train, 2 times?

Thank you, Im going to Auckland on december so i wanna know because in my country the sistem is different.

New Subscriber here. My daughters and I will be coming to Auckland next month for the World Cup. I have an AT HOP account set up. I have an option to purchase a hop card through the app & have it emailed to me, will I then be able use that print out on buses or will I use that to receive a physical card once I’m in Auckland? Thanks for the info Brittany.

Hi there! My dad is 70yo and traveling alone. We advice him to get the hop card at the airport. Now my question is, can he reload the card in the nearest train station? He doesn’t know how to use the app. Thanks for answering my question.

[lixie_he]

From nz public transport cheap but schedules so unreliable my local bus on time rating 52% I've seen up to 90 minute delays 15 minute delays are common

Still underdeveloped. And we Israelis complain so much about our bus/train system! A lot more developed that NZ's.
