Transport Around Auckland
Private Cars
Auckland is well known for traffic congestion and journeys often take longer than you expect. Planning your route via Google Maps Driving Directions is very useful if you include the time of day and date you will be travelling.Buses, Trains and Ferries
These are all run by Auckland Transport and fare payment is by a swipe card known as a HOP card. Once you have a HOP card, loaded with some dollars, all you need do when you get on is “Tag On” (i.e. swipe your HOP card across a Tag recorder) and “Tag Off” (i.e. swipe your HOP card across a Tag recorder) when you get off. Many of you will be very familiar with this system of paying for fares, but for those who are not, don’t forget the “Tag Off” bit. How do you get a HOP card? And how do you get dollars pre-loaded onto it?
