Concessions

If you’re 5-18 years old or a SuperGold card holder, you will need to register your Bee Card to get a discounted concessionary fare.

To get a concession you need to register your Bee Card at www.beecard.co.nz and if applicable, enter your SuperGold Card details. We can help you register the card and load your concession at our offices located at 144 Rattray Street, Level 2, Philip Laing House. You can also call us on 0800 ORBUSDN (0800 672 8736). 

Once it’s on there, you won’t need to show the driver your ID or SuperGold card. You just tag on and off, and the system will recognise your concession discount.
