Discounted commuter pass makes Hamilton to Auckland travel more affordable

InterCity Coachlines has this week announced the launch of its new InterCity Commuter Pass and Hamilton travellers are the set to be first to benefit.

Offering up to 38% saving on the regular Hamilton to Auckland travel the InterCity Commuter Pass is expected to be well received by Hamilton to Auckland commuters according to InterCity General Manager of Coaching Sam Peate: “The Hamilton to Auckland route is one of the most popular within our national network.  We operate more services between these two cities than any other transport provider in the New Zealand.”

“Our Hamilton customers have been asking us for a commuter type pass and we’re delighted to be able to offer the first of our InterCity Commuter Passes on this particular route.” says Peate.

With over 23 daily services to choose from the InterCity Commuter Pass provides an economic and convenient alternative to other forms of transport, with the earliest Hamilton departures arriving in Auckland at 6.50am and 9.30am.  

Regular departures continue throughout the day with the final evening departure from Hamilton at 7.00pm, arriving in Auckland at 9.00pm.

The InterCity Commuter Pass is sold in blocks of 6, 10 and 14 trips offering savings of up to 38% against standard adult fully refundable fares. Passes are valid for 12months and also provide great flexibility as reservations can be adjusted up to 2 hours prior to departure without penalty.

Travellers and purchase the new InterCity Commuter Pass online at intercity.co.nz or from any number of local booking agents including the Hamilton i-SITE Visitor Information Centre in Garden Place and from the Hamilton Transport Centre, Cnr Bryce & Anglesea St.

InterCity Coachlines plans to expand the commuter pass options to other city to city pairs around the country in the coming year.
