3 apps1 essential

AT Mobile

Essential

Auckland Transport's official app for buses, trains, and ferries across the Auckland region. Plan journeys, check real-time arrivals, and top up your AT HOP card.

Pro tip: Get an AT HOP card as soon as you arrive in Auckland. Cash fares are significantly more expensive, and the card works across all buses, trains, and ferries.

Metlink

Nice to have

Wellington's public transport app covering buses, trains, ferries, and the cable car. Real-time tracking and trip planning for the greater Wellington region.

Pro tip: Wellington is very walkable, but the bus network is essential for getting to hillside suburbs and the Hutt Valley. Snapper cards work on most services.

Transit App

Nice to have

A multi-city transit app that works across New Zealand. Aggregates real-time data for buses and trains, making it useful if you are travelling between cities.
