Information: Senior citizen fares are available 9am–4pm and after 6pm weekdays, and all
weekend and public holidays. Senior citizen fares are only available to passengers with a
valid permit.
If you are a Wellington City resident and qualify for beneficiary fares you must go to a
Wellington City Council Service Centre and prove your age or situation (invalid, widow,
domestic purposes beneficiary). If eligible, you will be issued with a yellow card (permit).
The card must be shown to the driver in order to get the cheaper fare.
Example: A person over 60 years old who is a Wellington City resident is eligible for a
beneficiary fare but must take along proof of their age (passport or birth certificate, etc)
and proof they live in the Wellington City (a telephone or power bill, bank statement, etc).
They will then be issued with a card.
