A new contactless payment system will be rolled out across Auckland’s public transport from this Sunday.
Starting on November 17, public transport users in the city will have [three options available](https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350317776/nationwide-contactless-payment-system-coming-public-transport) when they use buses, trains, and most ferries.
Contactless credit and debit cards, smartphones, or wearable devices to tag on and off, will be available for use, alongside AT Hop cards.
Until now public transport users were required to purchase an AT Hop card for most trips.
AT spokesperson Stacey van der Putten said the change was designed to offer greater accessibility for users, and AT hoped it would open up public transport to more people.
