Snapper card users -here's info about price changes happening from 1 September
From Snapper
Metlink’s new fares, with new concessions for children and young adults, start Friday 1 September 2023, bringing ‘half price fares for all’ to an end.
The move is in alignment with the fare changes outlined in the Government's 2023 Budget announcement in May.
This is a reminder that if you are eligible for the new concessions for children 5-12 and young adults 19-24 you can apply now to ensure you receive the benefits as soon as possible.
From September 1:
Under 13s can apply for a Child Under 13 Free Pass on a green Snapper card to enable free travel
13 - 18 year olds (or older if still at secondary school) will receive 75% off the full price adult fare when using a green Snapper card, no application is required
19 - 24 year olds can apply for a Young Adult Connect concession on a red Snapper card to receive 50% off the full price adult fare
Over 25s will return to full price fares*
