Fare Information

What is a GoCard or Monthly Pass?

GoCard and Monthly Pass are pre-paid travel cards that entitle you to cheaper fares and save you worrying about having the correct change.  A Monthly Pass allows you one month's unlimited travel and is valid for one month from the first time you use it.

Simply pass your card within 5 centimetres of the electronic reader on the bus and your fare is automatically deducted from your GoCard balance.  You can purchase or top up your GoCard and Monthly Pass balances on the bus with cash or at the Tranzit office (Matipo Street, Palmerston North) with EFTPOS.  The minimum GoCard top-up is $10.  GoCard can be used on Palmerston North City & Massey, Feilding, Wanganui and Levin - Palmerston North services, Monthly Pass is only available on Palmerston North urban services.

For Massey students and staff, GoCard technology is part of your Massey ID. Free Massey travel is only available within Palmerston North.  Free UCOL travel is available within Palmerston North and within Wanganui on production of current ID.

How much does it cost?

Your GoCard will cost $12, with $5 of travel already loaded.  Initial Adult Monthly Pass costs $62, monthly top-up $55.  Initial Child Monthly Pass costs $42, monthly top-up $35.  Purchase these cards either on the bus (with cash) or at the Tranzit office (with cash or ETFPOS).
