Contactless payment for public transport has launched in Christchurch including Selwyn and the Waimakariri,, Canterbury today.
The new system, Motu Move, enables bus, train and ferry users to ditch their Metrocards and instead use their debit, credit or digital cards to pay for standard fares.
Riders can pay digitally with Apple Pay and Google Pay on phones or smart watches.
The $1.3 billion dollar national project, which will expand to Greater Wellington in early 2027 and Auckland in late 2027, is a bid to get more Kiwis on public transport.
