Seventeen-odd years of waiting for one swipe-on-swipe-off nationwide public transport ticketing system will come to an end for Wellington next year and the entire country soon after.<\/p>\n
Greater Wellington Regional Council transport committee chairperson Thomas Nash confirmed the Motu Move national ticketing solution that is already being trialled in Christchurch was coming to Wellington in 2026, hopefully early in the year.<\/p>\n
It will mean that people can use an eftpos or debit card, or other electronic payment, to swipe on and off public transport around New Zealand. Total weekly and daily fares will be capped meaning people \u201cwill never pay more than a certain amount each day and week\u201d, Nash said.<\/p>\n
