| 1186518 | 2011-03-16 05:37:00 | Snapper discounts on Go Wellington services listed here: gowellingtonbus.co.nz It does add up if you're a regular bus user, so is well worth it. Plus it's a lot more convenient than cash. |

Plus it's a lot more convenient than cash. Thanks for that. May get one myself now. The info wasn't on the snapper website. I guess Snapper is just the card thing, that they didn't want to say anything incase Go Wellington change their policy. Not a regular Go Wellington user but it should add up. I'm a regular Newlands Coach user. |

| 1186520 | 2011-03-16 08:53:00 | Unfortunately the discounts are just a fixed percentage off the cash fare. On the WN trains you get a discount for a weekly ticket and an even bigger one for a monthly ticket. No such thing with Snapper. |

| 1186521 | 2011-03-16 09:41:00 | Also the card cost $10 right? $20 credit cost $30 to buy. The card does cost $10 but you only have to buy it once, then you keep adding credit. So $20 credit costs $20 to buy. Though in actual fact, $20 only gets you $19.75 as there is a 25c fee for topping it up (or feeding it, as they call it). A 20% discount on the fares means your $20 credit pays for what bus fares would otherwise cost $25, so it is a very good deal compared to paying cash. |

Apparently you can only get the $135 and $185 monthly passes with the Snapper card. www.gowellingtonbus.co.nz Looks like the $200 Platinum card can still be used without the Snapper or that the Platinum has not yet incorporated into the Snapper. |

| 1186523 | 2011-03-17 06:14:00 | And if you don't live in Wellington or Auckland as most of the population doesn't then would you buy a Snapper card? You wouldn't. |

| 1186524 | 2011-03-17 06:50:00 | Make sure you can see the card machine when you do a topup. My daughter got suspicious of one dairy where they did it out of sight and she reckons they were shortchanging her. | martynz (5445) | ||
