Under the Access scheme, discounted fares are available for people with permanent or temporary disabilities, enabling them to travel on Citylink, Southlink and Hawera-New Plymouth Connector services.
The scheme is for people with any permanent or temporary disability that prevents them driving a private vehicle. The following impairments could entitle you to a discounted fare: amputation, arthritis, asthma, cancer, epilepsy, head injury, intellectual disability, mental health, MS, Parkinsons, stroke, temporary broken bone, vision or hearing impairment, and more.
To enquire about Access tickets, contact the Taranaki Disabilities Information Centre on 06 759 0019.
You will need to load your Access fare concession on to your Bee Card to ensure you get the reduced fare when using public transport. Bus drivers will no longer accept your eligibility ID card or access ticket.
SuperGold Cards
Your SuperGold Card information must be loaded on to your Bee Card to ensure you can obtain your free SuperGold travel concession. More information on Bee Cards.
Holders of SuperGold Cards can travel free on all off-peak Citylink and Connector services (those running between 9am and 3pm and after 6.30pm weekdays, and Citylink Saturday services), and most Southlink services.
The SuperGold Card is available to all eligible New Zealanders aged 65 or over and those under this age who receive NZ Superannuation or the Veterans Pension.
Note: SuperGold Card holders must still pay fares for trips before 9am or after 3pm, but many will be eligible for the reduced Senior Citizen fare.
