How to Get Around - Visit Hamilton

COVID19 - Local Buses

We want to keep our community safe. It’s really important that each time you use the bus, your trip details and contact information are recorded. This is so we can provide this information to the Ministry of Health if it is required.

Every time you use the bus, you must either call us on 0800 205 305, or fill in the passenger trip register form here.

Free travel on buses

Bus travel is now free until further notice to avoid direct contact between drivers and passengers.

Reducing face to face contact
- Practise physical distancing while on board – sit in separate rows to other passengers if you can.
- Bus entry will be by the rear doors where possible, which excludes at the Hamilton Transport Centre and where passengers – such as wheelchair users – require the ramp for boarding.

Services and timetables

It's our expectation that, subject to driver availability, bus services will continue to operate as per the table below from Wednesday 25 March. Please note these services are subject to change.
