Comparing the two transit apps to help you pick the right one for New Zealand.
| AT Mobile | Metlink | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Auckland Transport's official app for buses, trains, and ferries across the Auckland region. Plan journeys, check real-time arrivals, and top up your AT HOP card. | Wellington's public transport app covering buses, trains, ferries, and the cable car. Real-time tracking and trip planning for the greater Wellington region. |
| Essential? | Yes | No |
| Pro Tip | Get an AT HOP card as soon as you arrive in Auckland. Cash fares are significantly more expensive, and the card works across all buses, trains, and ferries. | Wellington is very walkable, but the bus network is essential for getting to hillside suburbs and the Hutt Valley. Snapper cards work on most services. |
