From July 2025, Metlink fares will rise by 2.2% and the off-peak discount will fall from 50% to 30% when using a Snapper card actoss the Wellington region.
Greater Wellington councillors agreed on Thursday to increase fares in line with inflation but also aimed to keep the price affordable.
A 2.2% fare increase and an off-peak discount of 30% means an adult travelling off-peak from Karori to the city centre will pay $3.17, up from $2.22. The same journey at peak would be $4.53.
SuperGold card users will continue to travel for free at off-peak times, and existing concession discounts still apply. Off-peak discounts do not apply to the ferry and Airport Express bus.
