Rail pass gets you free bus travel!
Did you know that the new-ish Monthly Plus Rail passes get you free travel on busses? For a Zone 1 and 4 pass you get free bus use in Zone 4. So everyone say taking their car down to the Petone train station and back again everyday you could save on petrol, finding a park, vehicle wear and tear and the risk of getting your car damaged or broken into and take the bus! Also as a bonus you help avert some impact of climate change (the reason I’m posting this). Do you have a second car purely for getting to the train? Ditch it and save heaps on insurance, running costs, WOF and Rego etc! :)
I only realised this recently, I had been paying for it since they changed the fare structure!
