Special public transport fare concession available to NZTC students

New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC), alongside Auckland Transport (AT), is giving full-time students the opportunity to save up to 28% on travel fares for trains and selected buses and ferries in Auckland with an AT tertiary ID sticker.

In order to qualify for the reduced fares, students need to have an NZTC student ID card, as well as an AT HOP card, as tertiary concessions are not available on a cash fare.

To obtain an AT tertiary ID sticker, students need to visit the college’s Auckland campus and present their NZTC student ID card at reception, where a sticker will be issued if the student qualifies.

NZTC student Yiyan Wang, who is currently studying towards a Graduate Diploma in Teaching (ECE), uses public transport on a daily basis and feels that the AT tertiary ID sticker has made a significant difference in her travels.

“As an international student, I rely on public transport every day – I take buses everywhere that I need to go. It is nice that students are given a special discount, and the experience has been good and joyful,” Yiyan said.
