Snapper

All full-time students can receive a tertiary concession on Metlink bus, rail, and ferry services. The tertiary concession is a 25% discount off the peak adult Snapper fare on Metlink train, bus services and ferry services.

At the start of each new academic year, new students who are fully enrolled and meet eligibility requirements will receive an automatic email from Metlink with instructions on how to register their Snapper card for the tertiary travel discount.

If you haven't received an email from Metlink, you can register your Snapper card using the online Tertiary Snapper portal.

When you use your Snapper card on the bus, the Snapper reader will show the word 'tertiary' and the tertiary discount will be applied to your fare.

*The concession doesn't apply to cash fares or monthly rail passes.*

If you have classes on two campuses on the same day, you may be eligible for free bus fare from Victoria University of Wellington Student's Association (VUWSA).
