Children, secondary school students, tertiary students, beneficiaries, senior citizens and holders of Access cards are able to travel at subsidised rates. An agreement with WITT and its student association has enabled students and staff to travel free. Passengers can also transfer within an hour of purchasing a ticket to a second route at no extra charge.

Timetables are also available from bus drivers, any library or service centre in the New Plymouth District and the Ariki Street Bus Station.
