Special Update 18 November 2022
Cityride Buses 2022
We’re excited to share the news that school students aged 5-18 years old will be able to enjoy free bus travel on all Cityride services before 9am and from 2.30-6.30pm on school days next year.
To take up this free travel, students just need to have a registered Bee Card with a child concession. The key is to tag on when entering and tag off when leaving the bus, so they don’t get charged a standard fare.
The free fares will run as a trial from 31 January to 31 December 2022 and the Bay of Plenty Regional Council encourages as many school students as possible to take up this opportunity.
To apply for a Bee Card and get a concession loaded, please visit www.beecard.co.nz or plan your bus journey at www.baybus.co.nz.
If you have any queries, please contact transport.admin@boprc.govt.nz or call 0800 4 BAY BUS.
