InnerLink Bus Around Auckland

The InnerLink is the easiest way to get around Auckland's inner city.

The InnerLink Bus is the easiest way to get around Auckland's inner city. It runs from the Britomart Train Station, out to Parnell, through Newmarket, along K-Rd, Ponsonby Rd, past Victoria Park and then back to Britomart via SKYCITY.

The buses are bright green and the service runs on such a frequent basis that timetables are not required.

Here are some fantastic all-you-need spots offering arts and culture, dining, entertainment and shopping that will be on your InnerLink route.

How to pay for public transport

Bus fares can be paid using an AT HOP card. The AT HOP card is a reusable prepaid travel card that can be purchased online or at selected retailers, and must be topped up prior to travel.

You can also use your contactless debit or credit card, smartphone or smart device. Just be sure to tag on and off using the same payment method.

Cash is not accepted on buses. If you're travelling with someone who doesn’t have a HOP card or contactless payment, you can use your HOP card to buy a single-trip paper ticket for them—just ask the driver.

Timetable

Mon to Fri: Every 10 to 15 minutes from 6.10am to midnight*
Weekends & Public Holidays: Every 15 mins from 6.20am to midnight*

*Actual frequency may vary
