About Bus passes

The Tauranga Transport Network Group is introducing a bus pass system from 2022 onwards.

The purpose of the bus pass system is to better manage our network of 24 bus routes. By requiring all students to obtain and present and bus pass, we can ensure that:
– bus routes are designed in an effective manner,
– loadings on buses can be managed to minimise standing passengers, and
– any emergency that arises can be managed appropriately.

The majority of students on TTNG are travelling to their nearest school. This means that they are entitled to a free bus pass. Students travelling to a more distant school, however, are required to purchase a bus pass.
