The 50% off promotion has now ended

The 50% central government fare reduction finished up on 30 June 2023.

New Metro fares from 1 July 2023

We're excited to have launched our new fares on 1 July, meaning you can travel on any Metro bus across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri for $2 or less with your Metrocard. The new fares reduce and simplify our existing fares and were launched immediately after national half price fares promotion ended, to ensure Metro fares remain low. Concessions are now available for those under 25, Community Service card holders, tertiary students and Total Mobility card holders.
