Coronavirus: QR code coming to public transport in Auckland
QR codes will be displayed on public transport in Auckland as per Government requirements from Friday.
The bar codes will be displayed at the door during boarding, and at individual seats for easy scanning.
Auckland Transport recommends customers scan this QR code to help with contract tracing efforts if needed.
“To help things go smoothly for everyone, please have the Ministry of Health’s NZ COVID Tracer app open and ready to scan during boarding,” a statement read.
Auckland mayor Phil Goff said following the rules wil help keep ourselves and others safe and ensure that we can move out of Alert Level 2 as soon as possible.
“Keeping track of your movements with the NZ COVID Tracer app and ensuring that you are wearing a face covering are two simple ways we can help to constrain the spread of the virus,” he said.
In addition to scanning the Ministry of Health’s QR code, AT recommends that customers also register their AT HOP card to help with contact tracing.
This will also allow AT to monitor passenger numbers and make fast adjustments to services if required due to changes in demand.
Face coverings are also mandatory on public transport, as per Government’s advice.
