Free Hamilton buses for youth this holidays!
City buses will be free within the city for young people (aged 18 years and under) over the upcoming school holidays.
This follows a decision by Hamilton City Council in June to make buses free for young people on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays for travel within Hamilton boundaries – a service which started in July 2019.
Free youth travel is available on any bus within the Hamilton City boundary from Saturday 28 September until Sunday 13 October.
