SuperGold Free Travel Hours Ending | Christchurch News

SuperGold cardholders in Christchurch brace for a major change: free public transport between 3 PM and 6:30 PM on weekdays is ending later this year, as the city aligns with the national Motu Move ticketing system. While weekday free travel remains from 9 AM to 3 PM and after 6:30 PM — plus all day weekends and holidays — that afternoon window is closing. Environment Canterbury says this shift supports growing afternoon ridership and national consistency, though some locals may feel the financial pinch. Councillor Joe Davies acknowledges the impact, while officials promise clear guidance and support to ease the transition. This move is part of a broader national effort to unify ticketing — making commuting smoother, even if it means adjusting local perks.
