The way we pay for public transport should change for the better following Waka Kotahi’s $1.3 billion investment in a National Ticketing Solution.
The National Ticketing Solution (NTS) will let people pay for bus, train and ferry trips across the country by tagging on and off with their credit or debit card, or smartphones with Apply Pay or Google Pay.
It should replace the Hop cards used in Auckland, Snapper cards in Wellington, Canterbury’s Metrocard and the Bee card used by 10 other regional councils.
